1 Chapter 3 - Molecular Symmetry Symmetry helps us understand molecular structure, some chemical properties, and characteristics of physical properties (spectroscopy) used with group theory to predict vibrational spectra for the identification of molecular shape, and as a tool for understanding electronic structure and bonding. Symmetrical: implies the species possesses a number of indistinguishable configurations. 1
2 Group Theory: mathematical treatment of symmetry. symmetry operation an operation performed on an object which leaves it in a configuration that is indistinguishable from, and superimposable on, the original configuration. symmetry elements the points, lines, or planes to which a symmetry operation is carried out. Element peration Symbol Identity Identity E Symmetry plane Reflection in the plane σ Inversion center Inversion of a point,y,z to -,-y,-z i Proper ais Rotation by (360/n) C n Improper ais 1. Rotation by (360/n) 2. Reflection in plane perpendicular to rotation ais S n Proper aes of rotation (C n ) Rotation with respect to a line (ais of rotation). C n is a rotation of (360/n). C 2 = 180 rotation, C 3 = 120 rotation, C 4 = 90 rotation, C 5 = 72 rotation, C 6 = 60 rotation Each rotation brings you to an indistinguishable state from the original. owever, rotation by 90 about the same ais does not give back the identical molecule. Therefore 2 does NT possess a C 4 symmetry ais. XeF 4 is square planar. It has four different C 2 aes. A C 4 ais out of the page is called the principle ais because it has the largest n. By convention, the principle ais is in the z-direction 2

4 Reflection through a planes of symmetry (mirror plane) If reflection of all parts of a molecule through a plane produced an indistinguishable configuration, the symmetry element is called a mirror plane or plane of symmetry. σ v (vertical): plane colinear with principal ais Reflection through a planes of symmetry (mirror plane) σ d (dihedral) Vertical, parallel to principal ais, σ parallel to C n and bisecting two C 2 ' aes 4
5 Reflection through a planes of symmetry (mirror plane) σ h (horizontal): plane perpendicular to principal ais Inversion, Center of Inversion (i) A center of symmetry: A point at the center of the molecule. (,y,z) (-,-y,-z). It is not necessary to have an atom in the center (e.g. benzene). Tetrahedrons, triangles, and pentagons don't have a center of inversion symmetry. C 2 6 Ru(C) 6 C 4 4 Cl 2 F 2 5
6 Rotation-reflection, Improper rotation(s n ) This is a compound operation combining a rotation 360 /n (C n ) with a reflection through a plane perpendicular to the C n ais σ h.(c n followed by σ h ) σc n =S n An improper rotation (or rotation reflection), S n, involves rotation about 360 /n followed by reflection through a plane that is perpendicular to the rotation ais. 6
7 Identity (E) Simplest symmetry operation. All molecules have this element. If the molecule does have no other elements, it is asymmetric. The identity operation amounts to doing nothing to a molecule and so leaves any molecule completely unchanged. CFClBr SFCl Successive perations 7
8 Symmetry Point Groups Symmetry of a molecule located on symmetry aes, cut by planes of symmetry, or centered at an inversion center is known as point symmetry. Collections of symmetry operations constitute mathematical groups. Each symmetry point group has a particular designation.

18 Character Tables Character tables contain, in a highly symbolic form, information about how something of interest (an bond, an orbital, etc.) is affected by the operations of a given point group. Each point group has a unique character table, which is organized into a matri. Column headings are the symmetry operations, which are grouped into classes. orizontal rows are called irreducible representations of the point group. The main body consists of characters (numbers), and a section on the right side of the table provides information about vectors and atomic orbitals. C 2v E C 2 σ v (z) σ v (yz) A z 2, y 2, z 2 A R z y B , R y z B y, R yz C 3v E 2C 3 3σ v A z 2 + y 2, z 2 A R z E (,y), (R, R y ) ( 2 -y 2, y)(z, yz) Symmetry elements possessed by the point group are in the top row Left hand column gives a list of symmetry labels Gives information about degeneracies (A and B indicate nondegenerate, E refers to doubly degenerate, T means triply degenerate) Main part of table contains characters (numbers) to label the symmetry properties (of M s or modes of molecular vibrations) 18
19 To obtain from this total set the representations for vibration only, it is necessary to subtract the representations for the other two forms of motion: rotation and translation. z z z y z y y y Cartesian displacement vectors for a water molecule Translational Modes Rotational Modes A mode in which all atoms are moving in the same direction, equivalent to moving the molecule. A mode in which atoms move to rotate (change the orientation of) the molecule. There are 3 rotational modes for nonlinear molecules, and 2 rotational modes for linear molecules. 19
20 Selection Rules: Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy Infrared energy is absorbed for certain changes in vibrational energy levels of a molecule. -for a vibration to be infrared active, there must be a change in the molecular dipole moment vector associated with the vibration. For a vibration mode to be Raman active, there must be a change in the net polarizability tensor -polarizability is the ease in which the electron cloud associated with the molecule is distorted For centrosymmetric molecules, the rule of mutual eclusion states that vibrations that are IR active are Raman inactive, and vice versa The transition from the vibrational ground state to the first ecited state is the fundamental transition. The two bending modes require the same amount of energy and are therefore degenerate. 20

If the symmetry label (e.g. A 1, B 1, E) of a normal mode of vibration is associated with a product term ( 2, y) in the character table, then the mode is Raman active.

26 Enantiomers A pair of enantiomers consists of two molecular species which are mirror images of each other and are nonsuperposable. 26
27 Group Theory Supplemental Material Up to this point, we have considered symmetry operations only insofar as they affect atoms occupying points in molecules. Consider a water molecule ( 2 ). E Character Table Development C 2 v (z) v (yz) Coordinates are assigned according to the convention that the highest fold ais of rotation is aligned with the z-ais, and the ais is perpendicular to the plane of the molecule. Let the translation of the molecule in the +y direction be represented by unit vectors on the atoms, and consider how they change when undergoing the C 2v symmetry operations. z y B 2 = C 2 v (z) z v (yz) y 27
28 The set of four labels (+1, -1, -1, +1) generated in the analysis constitutes one irreducible representation within the C 2v point group. It is irreducible in the sense that it cannot be decomposed into a simpler or more fundamental form. Not only does it describe the effects on the y translation but also on other y-vector functions such as a p y orbital. Therefore, y is understood to serve as a basis function for this irreducible representation within the C 2v point group.

The column heading are classes of symmetry operations for the group, and each row depicts one irreducible representation. The +1 and -1 numbers, which correspond to symmetric and antisymmetric behavior, are called characters. Columns on the right are some of the basis functions which have the symmetry properties of a given irreducible representation. R, R y, R z stand for rotations about the specified aes. Symbols in the column on the far left are Mulliken Labels. Reducible Representations When applying the methods of group theory to problems related to molecular structure or dynamics, the procedure that is followed usually involves deriving a reducible representation for the phenomenon of interest, such as a molecular vibration, and then decomposing it into its irreducible components. A reducible representation will always be a sum of irreducible representations. In some cases (simple molecules with few bonds) we can perform the decomposition by inspection, for the more general case (complicated molecule with many bonds), we can use the reduction formula. 29
30 Reducible Representations The reduction can be achieved using the reduction formula. It is a mathematical way of reducing that will always work when the answer cannot be spotted by eye. It is particularly useful when there are large numbers of bonds involved. The vibrational modes of the molecule are reduced to produce a reducible representation into the irreducible representations. This method uses the following formula reduction formula: N 1 h n N is the number of times a symmetry species occurs in the reducible representation, h is the order of the group : simply the total number of symmetry operations in the group. The summation is over all of the symmetry operations. For each symmetry operation, three numbers are multiplied together. These are: Χ r character of the reducible representation for the operations of the class Χ i character of the irreducible representation for the operations of the class n is the number of symmetry operations in the class r i The characters of the reducible representation can be determined by considering the combined effect of each symmetry operation on the atomic vectors. z z Atomic contributions, by symmetry operations, to the reducible representation for the 3N degrees of freedom for a molecule. peration Contribution per atom* E 3 C 2-1 C 3 0 C 4 1 C i -3 S 3-2 S 4-1 S 6 0 *C n = 1 + 2cos(360/n); S n = cos(360/n) z z y y (z) i y y E y z y z 30
