I just came across a table with interesting hybridisation schemes I have never seen before. The table is shown below. I was wondering if anyone could give me some examples of atoms in particular molecules which possess one of those weird hybridisation schemes (e.g. spd, p2d2 etc.).

    Long story very short: These examples do not make any sense, they are a post-rationalisation of geometries and will in most cases not be a good representation of the bonding in such molecules/complexes. Could you please add a citation for the book you are using. – Martin - マーチン Aug 01 '17 at 05:04

    Even shorter: find better book. – Mithoron Aug 01 '17 at 14:46
