44. The molecule H3* has long been speculated to exist. The interest here is that the addition
of the smallest bit of nuclear matter, a proton, now introduces additional nuclear
repulsion over the H₂ problem. The issue was whether electron distributions could lead
to a stable configuration.
a) Draw what you think would be the most stable structure for H3* and show all
the Coulombic terms (write out the potential needed for the corresponding
Schroedinger equation).
b)
Draw what you think is the least stable configure of the 3 protons and 2
electrons.
c) It is found that the structure involves the rotation of one proton around the
other two, and interchange of which proton is rotating. Offer a potential
explanation (think tunneling).

(a) Using Hückel's method, describe the energy of the molecular orbitals T of cyclobutadiene C4H4,
which is a flat molecule made up of a square ring of carbons, as shown in the figure;
(b) Do the same for 1,3-butadiene C4H6, which is an elongated planar molecule, as shown in the figure.
(c) In both cases, draw an energy diagram indicating the filling of the orbitals and identifying the HOMO and the LUMO. Sketch by hand
schematically (using two colors to distinguish the lobes from the 2pz orbitals) the result obtained for the orbitals, identifying them with
the corresponding energy. If possible, you can use the Orbital Viewer program to plot the orbitals.
