FRONTIER ORBITALS OF COMMON FRAGMENTS

FRONTIER MOLECULAR ORBITALS OF COMMON ORGANIC LIGANDS

THAT ARE INTERACTING THROUGH TWO CARBONS WITH THE METAL

This page connects you to the pages with frontier molecular orbitals of small molecules and ligands which interact
with transition metals through two carbons like ethylene and acetylene. The effect of electron withdrawing groups
on the energy levels of HOMO and LUMO of the ligands are also illustrated.
