| Orbitals of the NO monomer and dimer in the valence shells. The MOs of the NO monomer are depicted at the two sides with the singly occupied orbital (HOMO) on the top. The three electrons locating in π y and form a three-electron π bond which contributes 0.5 to the bond orders of 2.5 of the NO molecule. The bonding and antibonding dimer orbitals arising from the same monomer orbitals are indicated in pairs. |
