(i) Using molecular orbital theory, draw the energy level diagram for a purely σ-bonded octahedral complex, including the symmetry labels. Indicate which orbitals are bonding, non- bonding and anti-bonding. (ii) In a separate diagram, show the effect that a л-donor (л-base) ligand has on these energy levels. Give an example of a typical л-donor ligand.
