| | Molecular Orbitals of Zn(II) Porphyrins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | The first exercise uses molecular modeling to examine the effect of ligation at the Zn ion on the energies of the molecular orbitals of Zn(II) porphine. |
 | | Knowledge of this effect combined with experimental data on two meso-substituted Zn(II) porphyrins, obtained in the second exercise, permits determination of which of the two occupied orbitals, a |
 | | Open the file with your Zn(II) porphine and add a pyridine molecule as a ligand on the Zn ion. |
