Abstract
Molecular orbitals from d, s, p types of valence orbitals and parametric expressions for energy levels in octahedral Ta6Cl122+ and Mo6Cl84+ were obtained by group theoretical methods. Both cages exhibited electron delocalization and similar bonding energies, even though only the Ta6Cl122+ structure is electron deficient.Keywords
