Effectiveness for this is in the order diethyl ether < 1, 2-dimethoxyethane < HMPA . In principle any unsaturated molecule can form a radical anion, but the antibonding orbitals are only energetically accessible in more extensive conjugated systems.

Do you understand how the orbitals are filled in the MO diagram at triplet oxygen, and how to calculate bond order based on filling of bonding and antibonding orbitals ? talk ) 13 : 51, 15 April 2011 ( UTC)

It was mentioned to me in passing half a year ago how nucleophile electrons attack antibonding orbitals . . . and in fact I had totally forgotten about antibonding orbitals ( as a mechanism for nucleophilic attack ) until it was mentioned again.

This reduction of symmetry lifts the degeneracy of the two formerly non-bonding molecular orbitals, which by Hund's rule forces the two unpaired electrons into a new, weakly bonding orbital ( and also creates a weakly antibonding orbital ).

The next highest are the ? bonding orbitals which represent the HOMO . Because the 10 valence electrons of the metals are used to fill these first 5 orbitals, the next highest orbital becomes the LUMO which is the ? * antibonding orbital.

I can't remember what he exactly told me, but years later in my mind, his explanation is somehow jumbled up in my mind as " the attacking nucleophile finds it hard to choose " ( which antibonding orbital to attack ).

It is therefore classified as an bonding structure between the oxygen atoms is weakened ( i . e ., is higher in energy ) for instance, it is higher in energy than the bonding in dinitrogen, where the corresponding antibonding orbitals are empty.

The strength of interaction with the counterion affects the energy of this antibonding orbital; thus, in colorless chloryl compounds, strong interactions with the counterion, corresponding with the higher covalent character of the bonding, shift the transition energy out of the visible spectrum.

A molecular orbital analysis of this phenomenon suggest that this conformation provides the best overlap between the electrons in the R-H ? bonding orbital that is undergoing nucleophilic attack and the empty ? * antibonding orbital of the R-X bond that is being broken.
