P4 Structure and Molecular Orbitals

  1. Right-click in the Jmol window to bring up the menu, and choose "console" to bring up the console window.
  2. Type "mo homo" in the console to view the HOMO of the molecule and find out what its number is, or "mo lumo" to view the LUMO.
  3. Orbitals are numbered in ascending energy, and any MO can be selected by number in the console. For example, try typing in "mo 10".
