1 Symmetry helps us understand molecular structure, some chemical properties, and characteristics of physical properties (spectroscopy). Predict IR spectra or Interpret UV-Vis spectra Predict optical activity of a molecule 1 2 Molecular Symmetry Symmetry impacts Physical properties Reactions Molecular orbitals Electronic structure Molecular vibrations Group theory Behavior of molecule based on symmetry Symmetry analysis Application of symmetry Orbital symmetry Vibrational symmetry 3 Symmetry is all around us and is a fundamental property of nature
2 Facial symmetry Invariance to transformation as an indicator of facial symmetry: No! Yes 7 Mirror image 8 What is symmetry? invariance* to transformation in space nature of the transformation determines the type of symmetry determines crystal packing, orbital overlap, spectroscopic properties Symmetry operations and elements *an invariance (meaning in mathematics and theoretical physics) is a property of a system which remains unchanged under some transformation Symmetry operations and elements Group Theory: mathematical treatment of symmetry. Symmetry Operation = an operation performed on an object which leaves it in a configuration that is indistinguishable from the original appearance (or action which molecular symmetry unchanged). e.g. rotation through an angle, reflection. Symmetry Elements = the points, lines, or planed to which a symmetry operation is carried out. Symmetry operations and elements Element Operation Symbol Identity Identity E Symmetry plane Reflection in the plane Inversion center Inversion of a point x, y, z to x,-y,-z Proper axis Rotation by (360/n) C n Improper axis 1. Rotation by (360/n) 2. Reflection in plane perpendicular to rotation axis i S n
3 1. Identity operation (E) The identity operation, E, states that the object exists Also denoted as C 1 or C n n Its existence is demanded by the math of group theory, and common sense 2. Planes and Reflection (σ) or Mirror plane (m) CHFClBr D-Glucose and L-Phenylalanine Mirror plane symmetry element is a plane all of the points of a molecule are passed through the plane hands Mirror plane H 2 O Eyes glasses chair Reflection across a plane of symmetry, (mirror plane) 2 = E Examples: Mirror plane v v Handedness is changed by reflection!
4 3. Inversion, Center of Inversion (i) Center of Inversion (i) The inversion operation takes a points through the center of symmetry of the molecule to an equal distance on the other side. A point at the center of the molecule (x, y, z) ---> (-x, -y, -z) Examples: Center of Inversion (i) Examples: Center of Inversion (i) Proper axes of rotation (Cn) Rotational symmetry rotation by an angle, such that n = 360 n is the order of the rotation C n the symmetry element is a line, about which the rotation takes place a C n axis generates n operations, which form a cyclic group or subgroup n = 2 n = 5 n = 6 360/2 360/5 360/6 180 o 72 o 60 o i. e. C 4 generates C 41, C 42 =C 2, C 43, C 44 =E
5 Examples: Proper axes of rotation (Cn) C nm = E
6 Note: C 42 = C 21, C 62 = C 31, C 63 = C 2 1 C 4 1 C 42 = C Rotation-reflection, Improper axis (Sn) S n - where n indicates the order of the rotationcomposed of two successive geometry transformations: first, a rotation through 360 /n about the axis of that rotation (C n ), and second, reflection through a plane perpendicular to Cn ( h). symmetry element is both a line and a plane C Improper axis (Sn) Improper axis (Sn) CH 4 1) 90 rotation 2) reflection CH
7 n-fold improper rotation, S n m rotation axes and mirror plane molecules: (H 2 O) S 4 1 S h C 2 1 S 4 2 Note that: S 1 =, S 2 = i, and sometimes S 2n = C n (e.g. in box) this makes more sense if you examine the final result of each of the operations rotation axes and mirror plane molecules: (C 6 H 6 ) rotation axes and mirror plane molecules: (BF 3 ) rotation axes and mirror plane molecules Examples for the different basic symmetry operations and symmetry elements
8 43 44 Point Groups Point Groups Point Group = the set of symmetry operations for a molecule. Group Theory = the mathematical treatment of the properties of groups, can be used to determine the molecular orbitals, vibrations, and other properties of the molecules Non rotation group (Low Symmetry) Group Symmetry Examples C1 E CHFClBr Single axis group Group Symmetry Examples C n E, C n H 2 O 2 Cs E, h H2C=CClBr C nv E, C n, nσ v H 2 O C n subgroup + n v Ci E, i HClBrC=CHClBr C nh E, C n, σ h, S n, i B(OH) 3 Cn subgroup + h
9 C n Point Groups C nv Point Groups C nh Point Groups Single axis group Group Symmetry Examples S 2n E, S 2n 1,3,5,7-tetrafluoracyclooctatetrane C v E, C, σ v HCl S n Point Groups Dihedral groups Group Symmetry Examples D n E, C n, nc2 NiN 6 D nd E, C n, nc 2, S 2n S 8 D nh E, C n, nc 2,σ h, nσ v D h E, i, C v, σ v
10 Dihedral groups D n and D nh Point Groups adding a C 2 perpendicular to the C n requires that there must be n C 2 axes perpendicular to the C n D n : C n + n C 2 axes (molecules in this group must have a zero dipole moment and be optically active D nh : D n + h D nd : D n + v. The v operations will bisect the adjacent C 2 axes D nd Point Groups h v Cubic groups Group Symmetry Examples T d E, C 3, C 2, S 4, σ d CCl 4 O h E, C 3, C 2, C 4, i, S 4, S 6, σ d,σ h I h E, C 3, C 2, C 5, i, S 10, S 6,σ

13 Representation of Point Groups Properties and Representations of Groups Matrices Why Matrices? The matrix representations of the point group s operations will generate a character table. We can use this table to predict properties. C ij = A ik x B kj C ij = product matrix; i rows and j columns A ik = initial matrix; i rows and k columns B kj = initial matrix; k rows and j columns Matrix Representations of C 2v 1) Choose set of x,y,z axes - z is usually the C n axis - xz plane is usually the plane of the molecule 2) Examine what happens after the molecule undergoes each symmetry operation in the point group (E, C 2, 2 ) E Transformation Matrix x,y,z x,y,z What matrix times x,y,z doesn t change anything? E Transformation Matrix C 2 Transformation Matrix x,y,z -x, -y, z Correct matrix is: v (xz) Transformation Matrix x,y,z x,-y,z Correct matrix is: v (yz) Transformation Matrix x,y,z -x,y,z Correct matrix is: These 4 matrices are the Matrix Representation of the C 2v point group All point group properties transfer to the matrices as well Example: E v (xz) = v (xz)

Character = sum of diagonal from upper left to lower right (only defined for square matrices) The set of characters = a reducible representation ( ) or shorthand version of the matrix representation For C 2v Point Group: E C 2 v (xz) v (yz) E C 2 v (xz) v (yz) Irreducible Representations Reducible Repr.

Ex: the d xy orbital shares the same symmetry as the B 2 IR. The s orbital always belongs to the totally symmetric representation (the first listed IR of any point group). 82 Irreducible Representation Labels Character Tables R = any symmetry operation = character (#) i,j = different representations (A1, B2, etc ) h = order of the group (4 total operations in the C 2v case

O atom vectors in x and y are reversed, each contributing -1 and in z direction is the same, contributing 1. --> (C 2 ) = (-1)+(-1)+1 = -1 v (xz): reflection in the plane of the molecule changes the direction of all the y vector, the x and z are unchanged. ---> = 3. v (yz): reflection perpendicular to the plane of the molecule changes the position of H atoms so their contribution is zero, the x vector on O changes direction, the y and z are unchanged. ---> = 1 9x9 vector 107 Reducible representation of H 2 O

Concept of a basis A basis refers to a type of function that is transformed by the symmetry operations of a point group. Examples include the spherical harmonics, vectors, internal coordinates (e..g bonds,
