1 Degrees of Freedom and Vibrational Modes 1. Every atom in a molecule can move in three possible directions relative to a Cartesian coordinate, so for a molecule of n atoms there are 3n degrees of freedom. 2. For a linear molecule, there are 3 translations and 2 rotations of the system, so the number of normal modes is 3n For a nonlinear molecule, there are 3 translations and 3 rotations of the system, so the number of normal modes is 3n 6. Why is there an "extra" vibration for a linear molecule of n atoms, compared to a nonlinear molecule with the same number of atoms? A B B Rotation B A B Bending Vibration
2 Symmetry of Degrees of Freedom All 3n degrees of freedom normal modes, translations, and rotations have symmetry relationships consistent with the irreducible representations (species) of the molecule's point group. We can catalogue the species of all degrees of freedom by making a set of 3n vectors (3 along the Cartesian coordinates of each atom) a basis for a representation of the group: Γ 3n By inspecting the unit vector and rotational vector transformation properties listed in the character table, we can identify the species of the nonvibrational degrees of freedom and subtract them: Γ vib = Γ 3n Γ trans Γ rot Knowing the symmetry species of Γ vib, we can apply symmetry-based quantum mechanical selection rules to predict which normal modes will be observable (active) in the infrared spectrum and the Raman spectrum. Matching predicted spectroscopic activity with observed spectra can be useful in determining structure.
3 Determining Γ 3n Example: S 2 (C 2v ) x 1 x 2 x 3 z 1 y 1 S z2 y2 z 3 y 3 E: x 1 x y 1 y z 1 z x 2 x y 2 = y z 2 z x 3 x y 3 y z 3 z 3 χ E = 9 = 3n
4 Determining Γ 3n Example: S 2 (C 2v ) x 1 x 2 x 3 z 1 y 1 S z2 y2 z 3 y 3 C 2 : x 1 -x y 1 -y z 1 z x 2 -x y 2 = -y z 2 z x 3 -x y 3 -y z 3 z 1
5 Determining Γ 3n Example: S 2 (C 2v ) x 1 x 2 x 3 z 1 y 1 S z2 y2 z 3 y 3 σ v = σ(xz): x 1 x y 1 -y z 1 z x 2 x y 2 = -y z 2 z x 3 x y 3 -y z 3 z 1 χ σ(xz) = 1
6 Determining Γ 3n Example: S 2 (C 2v ) x 1 x 2 x 3 z 1 y 1 S z2 y2 z 3 y 3 σ v ' = σ(yz): x 1 -x y 1 y z 1 z x 2 -x y 2 = y z 2 z x 3 -x y 3 y z 3 z 3 Gathering all χ R : χ σ(yz) = 3 C 2v E C 2 σ(xz) σ(yz) Γ 3n
7 Determining Γ 3n A General Simplification In the S 2 example, note that each 9 x 9 operation matrix contains three 3 x 3 block operation matrices, one for each atom. Such 3 x 3 matrices will occur in the full matrix for any molecule. For any operation R i, all the individual-atom operation matrices (3 x 3 matrices) have identical form and therefore have the same character, χ i. nly individual-atom block matrices that lie along the diagonal of the full operation matrix contribute to the overall character for the operation, χ R. nly those 3 x 3 block matrices for atoms that are not shifted by the operation fall along the trace of the full matrix and contribute to the character of the overall matrix. L To find χ R, the character for the overall operation, count the number of atoms that remain nonshifted by the operation, N i, and multiply by the contribution per nonshifted atom, χ i ; i.e., χ R = N i χ i
8 Determining Γ 3n btaining Values of χ i Values of χ i for all operations can be tabulated 1, but they can also be obtained by inspecting a character table for a group that includes the operation of interest. The contribution per nonshifted atom for a particular operation, χ i, is the same regardless of the orientation of its associated symmetry element. The value of the contribution per nonshifted atom for a particular operation is the same in any point group in which that kind of operation is found. Individual elements c 11, c 22, c 33 along the trace of the 3 x 3 matrix indicate the effects of the operation on the coordinates x, y, z, respectively, of the atom on which they operate. The values for these elements will be identical to the characters for the operation in the irreducible representations by which the unit vectors x, y, and z transform. L To find a needed value of χ i add up the characters in the character table under the operation for the irreducible representations by which all three unit vectors transform. 1 See Table 6-1 in E. B. Wilson, J.C. Decius, and P. C. Cross, Molecular Vibrations, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1955, p. 105 (available in reprint from Dover Publications, New York).

12 Symmetries of the 3n-6 Vibrations Γ 3n 6 = Γ 3n Γ trans Γ rot L To determine the symmetries of the translations and rotations, which must be subtracted from Γ 3n to obtain Γ 3n 6, look at the unit vector transformations (x, y, z) to identify the species of Γ trans, and look at the rotational vector transformations (R x, R y, R z ) to identify the species of Γ rot, as listed in the penultimate column of the character table. From the listed unit vector transformations in C 2v : Γ trans = A 1 + B 1 + B 2 From the listed rotational vector transformations in C 2v : Therefore for S 2 : Γ rot = A 2 + B 1 + B 2 Γ vib = Γ 3n Γ trans Γ rot = (3A 1 + A 2 + 2B 1 + 3B 2 ) (A 1 + B 1 + B 2 ) (A 2 + B 1 + B 2 ) = 2A 1 + B 2
13 Normal Modes of S 2 < 1 (A 1 ) symmetric stretch < 2 (A 1 ) bend < 3 (B 2 ) antisymmetric stretch ν 1 = 1151 cm -1, ν 2 = 519 cm -1, and ν 3 = 1361 cm -1
14 Systematic Numbering of Frequencies for Normal Modes Frequencies associated with normal modes are numbered (ν 1, ν 2, ν 3,...) in descending order of symmetry species (as listed down the left column of the appropriate character table), and among modes of the same symmetry species in descending order of vibrational frequency. Common structures not following this convention: XY 6 octahedral ( h ) XY 4 square planar (D 4h ) ZXY 2 planar (C 2v ) ethane-type X 2 Y 6 (D 3d ) nonlinear X 2 Y 2 (planar C 2v or non-planar C 2 )
15 Determining Γ 3n and btaining Γ vib Degenerate Normal Modes of Vibration Example: Tetrahedral XY 4 (T d ) Y X Y Y Y T d E 8C 3 3C 2 6S 4 6σ d N i χ i Γ 3n Σ n i A A E T (R x, R y, R z ) T (x, y, z)
16 Symmetries of the 3n-6 Vibrations From the reduction of Γ 3n, we have Γ 3n = A 1 + E + T 1 + 3T 2 These fifteen degrees of freedom include three translations and three rotations. From the listed vector transformation properties: Γ trans = T 2 and Γ rot = T 1 Subtracting the translations and rotations: Γ 3n-6 = A 1 + E + 2T 2 Thus, we predict that there should be four frequencies: ν 1 (A 1 ), ν 2 (E), ν 3 (T 2 ), ν 4 (T 2 )
