The electronic structure of cyclopentadienylindium

Abstract: CNDO calculations have been carried out for the molecule InC5H5 of C5υ symmetry. Overlap populations were calculated and compared with those for related species. The bonding between In and the organic moiety can be described as essentially a covalent interaction involving mainly indium 5s and 5p orbitals with ring pπ orbitals. A lone pair on indium is a dominant feature of the structure, and is largely responsible for a (calculated) dipole moment of 4.75 D. The calculated orbital energies are compared with exp… Show more

“…It should be mentioned that the nature of the HOMO has been discussed amid some controversy. It was assumed to be either the a, lone pair [17,19] or the degenerate e, ligand orbital [15,18]. In the light of our results we prefer an a, assignment for the HOMO.…”
