Systematics of Atomic Orbital Hybridization of Coordination Polyhedra: Role of f Orbitals

The combination of atomic orbitals to form hybrid orbitals of special symmetries can be related to the individual orbital polynomials. Using this approach, 8-orbital cubic hybridization can be shown to be sp<sup>3</sup>d<sup>3</sup>f requiring an f orbital, and 12-orbital hex...
