Synthesizing and Investigating Cobalt Complexes: UV-Vis and Structure-Property Relationships Post-Lab Activity

When more complex compounds are viewed with Molecular Orbital Theory, orbitals are labeled in terms of their symmetry rather than the traditional s, p, d, f, etc. Knowing what the labels mean is outside the scope of this activity, however we will be using them to be consistent with the literature. The metal's orbitals are labeled in this way:
