  10. line: symmetry element 180o rotation: symmetry operation Symmetry Operation and Symmetry Elements • Symmetry Operation:A well-defined, non-translational movement of an object that produces a new orientation that is indistinguishable from the original object. • Symmetry Element:A point, line or plane about which the symmetry operation is performed.

  11. Four kinds of Symmetry Elements and Symmetry Operations Required in Specifying Molecular Symmetry • Proper (rotation) axis (Cn) • Mirror plane (s) • Center of symmetry or center of inversion (i) • Improper (rotation) axis (Sn)

  12. Four kinds of Symmetry Elements and Symmetry Operations Required in Specifying Molecular Symmetry (1) • Proper (rotation) axis (Cn) :n-fold symmetry axis. A Cnaxis generates noperations. • Rotation about Cn axis by 2p/n *1: E : Identity (x1) *2: Right-handed rotation

  13. Four kinds of Symmetry Elements and Symmetry Operations Required in Specifying Molecular Symmetry (1) • Proper (rotation) axis (Cn) : n-fold symmetry axis. A Cnaxis generates noperations. • Rotation about Cn axis by 2p/n * Principal rotational axis: highest-fold rotational axis * If more than one pricnipal axes exist, any one can be the principal axis.

  14. Four kinds of Symmetry Elements and Symmetry Operations Required in Specifying Molecular Symmetry (2) • Mirror plane (s) • Reflection about the s plane.

  15. How many mirror planes? Four kinds of Symmetry Elements and Symmetry Operations Required in Specifying Molecular Symmetry (2) • Mirror plane (s) • Reflection about the s plane. 6

  16. Four kinds of Symmetry Elements and Symmetry Operations Required in Specifying Molecular Symmetry (2) • Mirror plane (s) • Reflection about the s plane. How many mirror planes in linear molecules? C=O N=N 

  17. Four kinds of Symmetry Elements and Symmetry Operations Required in Specifying Molecular Symmetry (2) • Mirror plane (s) • Reflection about the s plane. * sh: mirror planes perpendicular to the principal axis. *sv: mirror planes containing the principal axis Unless it issd. * sd: mirror planes bisecting x, y, or z axis or bisecting C2 axes perpendicular to the principal axis.

  18. How to define molecular axes (x, y, z)? 1. The principal axis is the z axis. 2. If there are more than one possible principal axis, then the one that connects the most atoms is the z axis. 3. If the molecule is planar, then the z axis is the principal axis in that plane. The x axis is perpendicular to that plane. 4. If a molecule is planar and the z axis is perpendicular to that plane, then the x axis is the one that connects the most number of atoms.

  19. Four kinds of Symmetry Elements and Symmetry Operations Required in Specifying Molecular Symmetry (3) • Center of symmetry or center of inversion (i) • Inversion of all objects through the center. i is Pt atom. i is a point in space.

  20. Four kinds of Symmetry Elements and Symmetry Operations Required in Specifying Molecular Symmetry (4) • Improper (rotation) axis (Sn) • Rotation about an axis by 2p/n followed by a reflection through a plane perpendicular to that axis or vice versa. S6

  22. Four kinds of Symmetry Elements and Symmetry Operations Required in Specifying Molecular Symmetry (4) • Improper (rotation) axis (Sn) • Rotation about an axis by 2p/n followed by a reflection through a plane perpendicular to that axis or vice versa. Sngenerates noperations for even n and 2n operations for odd n.
