3.8 (a) D 3h C 2v C s. Use correlation tables in Appendix B to construct the following correlations. D3h C2v Cs A' 1 A' 2 A1 A' E' A 2 A" 1 B1 A" 2 B2 A" E" The E' and E" degeneracies are lifted in the descent D C. (b) T d C 3v. Use correlation tables in Appendix B to construct the following correlations. Note that there is no correlation between C 3v and C 2v, because they do not have a groupsubgroup relationship. 3h 2v T d C 3v A1 A1 A 2 E T1 A 2 E T 2 The T 1 and T 2 triple degeneracies are partially lifted to become a nondegenerate and doubly degenerate species in C. The double degeneracy of E is retained. 3v 23
(c) D 3d C s C 3v. The C s C 3v correlations can be obtained from the C 3v correlation table. The D 3d C s correlations can be deduced by matching vector transformations in the two groups. However, the axes orientations change on the descent D 3d C s. the z axis of C s is either the x or y axis of D 3d. If we assume that it is x of D 3d, then the descent causes the following axis transformations: z x, x z, y y. Thus A 2g (R z) correlates with A" (R x), etc. A 1u connects to A", because A" must connect to A 2 in C 3v to establish the overall correlation A 1u A 2 of D 3d C 3v, as listed in the correlation table. The check of the D 3d C s correlations is that they all provide a continuous path that makes the listed D 3d C3v correlations. D3d Cs C3v A 1g A 1 A 2g A' E g A 2 A 1u A" A 2u E E u The E g and E u degeneracies are lost in the D 3d C s descent, but A' and A" become degenerate as E in the ascent C C. s 3v (d) D 3d C s C 2v. As in (c), there is an axis shift with D 3d C s. The correlations shown for D 3d C s are the same as shown in (c) (see above for explanation). Assuming z x, x z, y y in the D 3d C s descent, the h plane of C s is in the yz plane of the D 3d coordinate system. The conventional orientation of the coordinate system in C 2v is the same as in D 3d. Therefore, on the ascent C s C 2v, h yz. The correlations shown below are based on h, taken from the C correlation table. yz 2v 24
D3d Cs C2v A1g A1 A 2g E g A' A 2 A 1u 1 A" A 2u B 2 E u B The E g and E u degeneracies are lost in the D 3d C s descent. Note that there is no direct correlation between D 3d and C 2v, because they do not have a group-subgroup relationship. Nonetheless, they can be linked through their shared subgroup, C. (e) D 3d D 3 D 3h. Use correlation tables in Appendix B to construct the following correlations. D 3d D3 D3h A A A ' 1g 1 A 1 2g 2 A ' s Eg E' A 2 A A " 1u 1 A2u A 2" E E E" u All degeneracies are retained, and no new degeneracies are established through the transformations. Note that there is no direct correlation between D 3d and D 3h, because they do not have a group-subgroup relationship. Nonetheless, they can be linked through their shared subgroup, D 3 25

For the initial I T correlation, use matching of vector transformations in the two groups and also the method of examining characters of operations of I retained in T. Once the I T correlation has been established, use the tabulated correlations for T to make correlations to groups that are subgroups of both I and T. For example, for I C 3, use the I T correlations and then the tabulated T C 3 correlations to make the links. Likewise, for I D 2, use the I T correlations and then the tabulated T D 2 correlations to make the links. For I C 2, use the previous results for D 2 and make use of the tabulated D 2 C 2 correlations to make the links. For both I D 5 and I D 3, use matching of vector transformations in I and the subgroup and also the method of examining characters of operations of I retained in the subgroup. For I C 5, use the I D 5 results and the tabulated D 5 C 5 correlations to make the links. 27
