Question

2- 2a. Platinum tetrachloride, [PtCl4], belongs to the point group Dah. Determine how the s, p, and d orbitals of the Pt ion would behave when operated on by all of the D4h symmetry elements. Use the attached D4h character table to assign a symmetry label to each of these orbitals. 2 Cl Pt Cl 2C2 i | 2Sa | | 20, 20g | Symmetry Orbital Label (z)(x. v) (dihedral) Platinum s Platinum px Platinum p Platinum pz Platinum dz2 Platinum dx2-y2 Platinum d Platinum dxz Platinum dyz LGO #1 LGO #2 0 20 200 2 0 0 0 2 0 -20 0 2 0 0

Explanation / Answer

the symmetry label for P orbitals px py is Eu as the characters are matching with D4h character table.

and for the the orbitals dxz and dyz belong to Egas the characters resembles with characters with Eg in character table .
