The neutral complex Mo2(NMe2)6 has only terminal Mo-NMe2 bonds and Mo2(NMe2)6 is structurally connected to Cr2(O2CMe)4(H2O)2. Draw a molecular frontier orbital scheme for Mo2(NMe2)6 starting from Mo(NMe2)3 fragments. Do not forget to label the d orbitals and the resulting molecular orbitals. What is the bond order between the two molybdenum centres in this complex?
