Bridgeman, A. J., Schmidt, T. W., & Young, N. A. (2013). Using atomic orbitals and kinesthetic learning to authentically derive molecular stretching vibrations. Journal of chemical education, 90(7), 889-893. https://doi.org/10.1021/ed300045q

The stretching modes of MLx complexes have the same symmetry as the atomic orbitals on M that are used to form its σ bonds. In the exercise suggested here, the atomic orbitals are used to derive the form of the stretching modes without the need for f...
