IntroductionTerminally bound oxo species are
proposed as intermediates of important catalyzed reactions.
The Oxo Wall:◦“M=O groups are stabilized at metal
centers with an oxidation state of no less than 4+ and no more than four d electrons”

Groups 3-6 are stableGroups 7-8 are more reactiveGroups 9-11 are rare (electrons
begin to populate antibonding orbitals)

ConclusionsGroup Theory can help us assign
and describe the symmetry of MOs.
We can assess the symmetry of transitions even if we don’t know their energy.
Group Theory can’t help us in structure determinations, since it requires us to postulate a structure with a point group
