1 Quantum Mechanical perators and Wavefunctions "well behaved" functions (φ), have the following properties must be continuous (no "breaks") must have continuous derivatives (no "kinks") must be normalizable. Mathematically, this means ( dτ implies integration over all space): ϕ ϕ dτ = C, (C is a finite constant). if we multiply ϕ by 1 C, ϕ ϕ C C dτ = 1, ϕ is said to be "normalized" C 1 rthogonality of Wavefunctions Two functions, φ and χ, are orthogonal if ϕ χ dτ = 0 Eigenfunctions of QM operators are orthogonal (proof - handout). If 2 or more eigenfunctions (eg., φ 1 & φ 2 ) have the same eigenvalue, then orthogonal eigenfunctions can be made : χ 1 = ϕ 1 and χ 2 = ϕ 2 + cϕ 1 where c = ϕ 1 ϕ 2 dτ ϕ 1 ϕ 1 dτ. 2 Commuting perators have Common Eigenfunctions This is shown on your handout Symmetry operators can t change the energy of wavefunctions after they operate. Symmetry operators therefore commute with the Hamiltonian (H ). A set of commuting operators including H and the symmetry operators A, B,... have common eigenfunctions. Example: The H-Atom (Digression) Hψ nlm (r,θ,ϕ) = E nlm ψ nlm (r,θ,ϕ) H = T + V (r) =!2 2m 2 Ze2 r =!2 2 2m r r r + 1 2mr 2 L2 Ze 2 r where L 2 is the (squared) angular momentum operator: L 2 =! 2 2 θ + cotθ 2 θ sin 2 θ ϕ 2 = 2!2 θ + cotθ 2 θ + L 2 z sin 2 θ L z operates only on θ and ϕ commutes with H =! i ϕ operates only on ϕ commutes with H and L2 Since H does not operate on spin variables L 2 S 2 and S z also commute with H, L 2, and L z 3 4
2 Commuting perators have Common Eigenfunctions For the hydrogen atom, operators that commute with H are L 2, L z, S 2, and S z. Therefore, the eigenfunctions of H are also eigenfunctions of L 2, L z, S 2, and S z. L 2 : l = 0, 1,..., n-1 L z : m l = l, l+1,..., l 1, l (2l+1 values) S 2 : (s = 1 / 2 for one electron) S z : (m s = 1 / 2, + 1 / 2 for one electron, 2S+1 values in general) 5 Group Theory & Quantum Mechanics Symmetry perators commute with the molecular electronic or vibrational Hamiltonian: [ R,H ] = RH H R = 0 or RH = H R { } and { ψ i } Hψ i = ε i ψ i where ε i are sets of energies and wavefunctions for that Hamiltonian 6 Group Theory & QM, cont. Nondegenerate case: only one wavefunction has energy ε i. Then, H Rψ i = RHψ i H (Rψ i ) = Rε i ψ i = ε i (Rψ i ) Rψ i is a wavefunction with the same energy. Therefore, Rψ i = Cψ i, where C is a constant with a magnitude of 1 (usually C = ±1, but it could be complex, C = e iα, where α is const.) Example: Valence Ms of Water H 2 has C 2v symmetry. The symmetry operators of the C 2v group all commute with each other (each is in its own class). The eigenfunctions of H must also be eigenfunctions of the symmetry operators E, C 2, σ v1, and σ v2. 7 8

Degenerate case: more than one wavefunction has energy ε i. We still write HRψ i = RHψ i H (Rψ i ) = Rε i ψ i = ε i (Rψ i ) Again, Rψ i is a wavefunction with the same energy, but it is possible that Rψ i = Σ j c j ψ j where the sum is over the all wavefunctions with the same energy (ε i = ε j ) for molecules the degeneracy is usually only 2- or 3-fold Higher Dimensional Representations and Degeneracy k-fold degenerate wavefunctions form a basis for a k-dimensional irreducible rep. Example: For a molecule with octahedral ( h ) symmetry three p orbitals (p x, p y, p z ) on the central atom must be degenerate, ε x = ε y = ε z. Demonstrate that the p orbitals form a basis for the T 1u representation in h symmetry. The converse is true: If k wavefunctions are degenerate, they form a basis for a k-dimensional irreducible representation. 16
5 The Direct Product - What is it for? It is often important to know whether integrals involving bases of IRs are zero. i.e., if f and g are basis functions belonging to Γ 1 and Γ 2,? fg 0 dτ = all space If the integrand, fg,belongs to the totally symmetric IR, then this is nonzero. therwise it is identically zero. 17 States and Configurations Each of the electronic states of an atom or a molecule are usually described as being built up from one (or perhaps more than one) configuration. Similarly, the total vibrational state of a molecule derives from a description of which individual modes are excited. Atomic Example: What states arise from s 2 2s 2 2p 2 (C atom ground) configuration?

We often seek to know the symmetries of electronic states that arise from configuration with partially filled orbital subshells. For example, what states arise from (t 2g ) 1 (e g ) 1 configuration for a d 2 octahedral complex? e g t 2g The Direct Product - What is it? Basis Functions: If two sets of functions {X j, j = 1, m} and {Y j, j = 1, n} form bases for two representations, then the representation spanned by the m n product functions, {X i Y j } is called a direct product representation. 23 Direct Product Representations a c Γ(R i ) in 2 nd 2-D basis b d p q a p q r s = r s c p q r s ap aq bp bq = ar as br bs cp cq dp dq cr cs dr ds Γ(R i ) in 1 st 2-D basis b p q r s d p q r s a b p q = ap aq bp bq ap a b p q = aq bp bq 24 Γ(R i ) in 4-D basis made up of product functions from 1 st and 2 nd basis

Proof The number of times the i th IR is contained in Γ AB is a i = 1 h R χ AB (R) χ i (R) χ 1 (R) =1 for all R = 1 h χ AB (R) R but we know that χ AB (R) = χ A (R)χ B (R), so = 1 h R where the final equality arises from orthogonality. χ A (R)χ B (R) = δ AB 27 28
8 SPECTRAL TRANSITIN PRBABILITIES When are electronic transitions allowed? For example, is the 2 T 2g 2 E g transition illustrated below symmetry allowed? 2T 2g e g t 2g 2E g e g t 2g TRANSITIN ENERGIES The energetic restriction on the allowedness of optical transitions like the 2 T 2g 2 E g transition illustrated earlier is familiar: E f E i = hν But this doesn t deal with symmetry. 29 Transition Probabilities, Symmetry Aspects I transition moment: µ is the dipole moment operator I ψ i µψ j dτ µ = q i x i + q i y i + q i z i i i i See Harris & Bertolucci, pp I x ψ i xψ j dτ I y I z ψ i yψ j dτ ψ i zψ j dτ 30 Transition Probabilities, Symmetry Rules An electric dipole transition will be allowed with x, y, or z polarization if the direct product of the representations of the two states concerned is or contains the irreducible representation to which x, y, or z, respectively, belongs. 32
9 Summary In the handout, Transitions Between Stationary States (Adapted from Harris and Bertolucci, p. 130), an expression for the probability that a system in its ground state, ψ 0 can be stimulated by radiation into an excited state, ψ 1, is derived: ( ) dt d c 1 *c 1 µ 01 Ψ(r,t) = c 0 (t)ψ 0 (r,t) + c 1 (t)ψ 1 (r,t) z 2 ( ) assuming c 0 (0) = 1 and c 1 (0) = 0. E 2 x 0 µ µ y 2 + µ E 0 2 is proportional to the light intensity and x x,y,z * =e ψ 1 yz ψ 0 dτ are the transition moment integrals. This expression applies to an integral over all wavelengths of incident light (in the dipole approximation) and was the form used to evaluate whether an electron transition was symmetry allowed. 33 Allowedness In group theory, prescription for deciding whether a transition is dipole-allowed is straightforward: If the ground and excited states respectively belong to the Γ 0 and Γ 1 representations of the point group of the molecule in question, then a transition is dipole-allowed if and only if Γ x for x-polarized light Γ 0 Γ 1 contains Γ y for y-polarized light Γ z for z-polarized light Spin doesn t change: S = 0. For states where large spin-orbit mixing is possible (large ζ and/or small E between mixed states), the rule is weakened. 34 Examples Is the 2 T 2g 2 E g transition illustrated earlier symmetry allowed? What about a 2 E 2 T 2 transition for a tetrahedral complex? 2E e t 2 2T 2 e t 2 T d E 8C 3 3C 2 6S 4 6σ d A x 2 + y 2 + z 2 A E (2z 2 x 2 y 2,x 2 y 2 ) T (R x, R y, R z ) T (x, y, z) (xy,xz, yz) h E 8C 3 3C 2 (= C 4 2 ) 6C 4 6C 2 i 8S 6 3σ h 6S 4 6σ d A 1g x 2 + y 2 + z 2 A 2g E g (2z 2 x 2 y 2,x 2 y 2 ) T 1g (R x, R y, R z ) T 2g (xy,xz, yz) A 1u A 2u E u T 1u (x, y, z) T 2u
10 Types of Transitions: d-d a) intramolecular e transfer within the d-orbital manifold b) Values for ε vary: up to 1,000 M 1 cm 1 (moderately intense) for spin-allowed transitions in noncentrosymmetric molecules; ~10 M 1 cm 1 for spinallowed transitions in centrosymmetric molecules (weak); ~10 1 M 1 cm 1 for spin-forbidden transitions in centrosymmetric molecules (very weak). c) 1-e transitions much more intense (2-e transitions typically 10 2 times weaker) d) Shoulders and/or broad peaks expected where Jahn-Teller distortions apply. 37 Identifying Nonzero Matrix Elements Molecular rbitals, ψ µ (µ = 1, 2, ), for molecules are usually expanded in terms of basis functions: (ψ µ = c 1µ φ 1 + c 2µ φ 2 + ) These basis functions, {φ 1, φ 2, }, may be atomic orbitals, or as we shall see, they may be Symmetry Adapted Linear Combinations (SALCs) of atomic orbitals. We shall see that it is important to be able to identify whether integrals (called matrix elements) of the form below are zero by symmetry. H ij φ i Hφ j dτ = 39? 0 38 Identifying Nonzero Matrix Elements SALCs are constructed so that they form basis functions for the IRs of the system (molecule or crystal). Hamiltonian Matrix Elements, H ij, involving SALCs are nonzero only if φ i and φ j belong to the same IR. 40
