Square-pyramidal molecular geometry has four basal donor positions in a square and one axial donor. Removing one axial ligand from an octahedral molecular geometry lowers orbitals with character. A common -level order is , although the middle pair depends on axial strength and distances.

Square pyramidal molecular geometry is a specific arrangement of atoms in a molecule or ion where a central atom is surrounded by five other atoms. In this geometry, four of the surrounding atoms are located at the corners of a square base, and one atom is positioned above the center of the square, forming a pyramid-like structure.
