Molecular Orbitals of the Hydrated Hydroxide Ion (HO-H2O)

H3O2 molecular orbitals

 

The molecular orbitals were calculated using the Restricted Hartree-Fock wave function (RHF) using the 6-31G** basis set. The calculated energies are in eV. There is more molecular orbital overlap between the molecules than in the water dimer, indicating the stronger hydrogen-bonding.

 

Interactive structures with orbitals are available  (COW [Plug-in, ActiveX] only)
