Nash, Clinton S. Crockett, Wesley W. An Anomalous Bond Angle in (116)H<sub>2</sub>. Theoretical Evidence for Supervalent Hybridization The electronic structure and geometry of the superheavy group VI molecule (116)H<sub>2</sub> are examined and compared to those of the lighter group analogues H<sub>2</sub>O−PoH<sub>2</sub>. The spin−orbit interaction is found to lengthen the (116)−H bond and more importantly lead to a modest but significant H−(116)−H bond angle increase. It is suggested that the latter is the result of a rehybridization of the valence 7p orbitals with a “supervalent” 8s orbital of element 116. 116.;supervalent;superheavy;Theoretical Evidence;analogue;valence 7 p orbitals;Anomalous Bond Angle;latter;VI;rehybridization;molecule;interaction;Supervalent Hybridization;bond 2006-04-13
