1. Set up the Energy matrix for C6H6
2. Solve for the molecular orbitals and normalization coefficients.
3. Determine the resonance energy.
4. C4BNH6 is isoelectronic to C6H6. If βaz = βbz *1.2 for C-N, βaz = βbz, *0.8 N-B and B *0.9 for B-C and βaz = βbz for C-C bonds. What are the new molecular orbitals?
5. Is the resonance energy higher or lower than benzene? What can one say about the aromatic character?
