cos(180-) = a2/(1-a2) (a2 = s-character, 1-a2 = p-character)
Holds only for orthogonal hybrids!
Explanations of the Inert-Pair Effect
1) Promotion energies increase down the group
2) Drago: Binding energies decrease down the group promotion energies are not overcompensated anymore
3) Extension following Kutzelnigg: Promotion does not take place anymore no good hybrids and weakened covalent bonds in higher oxidation state
Why is Inorganic Lead Chemistry Dominated by PbII, but Organolead Chemistry by PbIV?(J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 1061)
Pb(IV) Pb(II)
inorganic lead chemistry:
PbCl4:decomposes at low temperatures
PbCl2, PbO, Pb(OAc)2:stable ionic compounds
PbO2 or Pb(OAc)4:strong oxidation agents
organolead chemistry:PbMe4, PbEt4:stable compounds, earlier appreciable commercial value
PbMe2, PbEt2
unknown, possibly reactive intermediates
decreasing stability:R4Pb > R3PbX > R2PbX2 > RPbX3 > PbX4

Summary: Hybridization Defects and Related Phenomena in p-Block Main-Group Chemistry
• 2p shell has no primogenic repulsion and is thus compact
• this favors isovalent hybridization in the 2nd period
• electronegative substituents enhance hybridization defects
• for the heavier p-block elements, hybridization defects are important for inert-pair effect, inversion barriers, Bent‘s rule effects, double-bond rule…..
• large electronegativity of 2p-elements also arises from compact 2p shell

Summary: Hypervalency, d-Orbital-Participation
in p-Block Main-Group Chemistry
• in normal valent and „hypervalent“ p-block main-group systems, d-functions serve as „polarization functions“ but not as true valence orbitals
• hypervalent Lewis structures usually obtain small or no weight!
• ionic bonding contributions dominate, assisted by delocalization (3-c-4-el.-bonding, negative hyperconjugation)
• in PF5, SF6, etc., delocalization is more complex due to s-orbital participation significant hypervalent populations

The problem of the outermost core shells in transition-metal atoms
The problem is most pronounced for the 3d elements (nodelessness of the 3d shell) weak bonds, low-lying excited states, strong (nondynamical) correlation effects
The 4d shell is already better suited for bonding overlap.The 5d shell even more so due to its relativistic expansion.

Summary: Understanding Non-VSEPR Structures in d0-Complexes
-d0 complexes with purely -bonded ligands tend to violate VSEPR and related models, in spite of increased ligand repulsion.
-while extended VSEPR models are not useful in rationalizing the distorted structures, both MO and VB models are successful for simple homoleptic complexes.
--bonding is much more important in d0 complexes than in related p-block complexes, due to the avalability of inner d-orbitals.
-the interrelation between -bonding and bond angles is complicated, due to the involvement of different d‑orbitals.
-the “anti-Bent’s-rule” structure of TiCl2(CH3)2 is due to Ti‑Cl -bonding!
-additional -donor ligands influence the angles between -donor ligands in heteroleptic complexes.

On the relative energies of 3d- and 4s orbitals
The 3d orbitals are always lower in energy (and smaller!) than 4s.Stronger electron repulsion in 3d may nevertheless favor 4s occupation.
