A systematic molecular orbital analysis of seven-coordinate molecules is presented, with an emphasis on the basic electronic structure, substituent site preferences, and pathways for interconversion of variousgeometries. Conformations studied in detail include the pentagonal bipyramid (PB), capped octahedron (CO), and capped trigonal prism (CTP). With respect to or electronegativity effects the following conclusions are reached for the optimum site of substitution in a d4 complex by a better donor: PB equatorial (eq), CO capping site (c), CTP edge (e). For effects the following preferences are deduced for d4 systems substituted by an acceptor and d by a donor (> means preferred): PB ax> eq, eq¡|> eq_; CO (cf= capped face, uf= uncapped face, c= capping site) cf> c> uf, cfx> cfj, uf±> uf¡; CTP (qf= quadrilateral face, e= edge, c= capping site) qf~ e> c, qfx> qfj, e±> eg, cy> cx. These preferences are reversed for the d4 donor substituent case. The agreement with information available from structural studies is good, though often the same conclusions would be reached from steric arguments. All pathways of polytopal rearrangement in seven-coordination are of low energy.
