Abstract
The energy order assignment of the d-orbitals of Mo5+ in Mo[S2CN(C2H5)2]4I3 given by Jasimet al. (1985) is restudied and corrected. It is indicated that, in general, the energy order of the d-orbitals of D2d symmetric complexes is depending on the bond angles and bond lengths of the ligands, thus there cannot be any universal energy order.
