Crystal Field Theory and the Angular Overlap Model Applied to Hydrides of Main Group Elements.

Moore, E. A.

Journal of Chemical Education, v67 n8 p657-61 Aug 1990

Described is how crystal field theory and the angular overlap model can be applied to very simple molecules which can then be used to introduce such concepts as bonding orbitals, MO diagrams, and Walsh diagrams. The main-group compounds are used as examples and a switch to the transition metal complexes. (KR)
