ABSTRACT
Application of the mathematical theory of groups to the
symmetry of molecules is a powerful method which permits the
prediction, classification, and qualitative description of
many molecular properties. In the particular case of vibra-
tional molecular spectroscopy, applications of group theory
lead to simple methods for the prediction of the number of
bands to be found in th-> infrared and Raman spectra, thei-
shape and polarization, and the qualitative description of
the normal modes with which they are associated. This report
contains the tables necessary for the application of group
theory to vibrational spectroscopy and instructions on how to
use them for Molecular gases, liquids, and solutions. A brief
introduction to the concepts, definitions, nomenclature, and
formulae is also included.

THE USE OF GROUP THEORY IN THE INTERPRETATION
OF INFRARED AND RAMAN SPECTRA
1. INTRODUCTION

A molecule may have one or more symmetry elements. Not all com-
binations of symmetry elements are possible; on the other hand, the
presence of certain pairs of symmetry elements implies the existence of
certain others. Each set of compatible symmetry operations is called a
"point group" because (1) no symmetry operation can mov<i the point
coincident with the center of mass (which is unique and cannot, therefore,
be shifted to an "equivalent" position), and (2) each set must satisfy
the conditions to constitute a mathematical "group."
Because very few known molecules have symmetry axes of order greater
than six (except «>), the number of point groups of practical interest is
limited. Table 2 lists those groups and gives typical examples of
molecules that have the corresponding symmetry in their equilibrium
configuration. Some point groups for which examples are not known are
listed because of the possibility of having to deal with molecules that
belong to them in a perturbed configuration (as may happen in liquids)
or in excited states.

for the deduction of the molecular properties derived from the molecular
symmetry.
3. The table contains the 32 "crystallographic" point groups from
which the 230 crystal space groups can be derived by addition of new
elements of symmetry (translations, screw axes, glide planes). The
reader must be reminded that the methods for the interpretation of
crystal spectra are more complicated than the methods applicable only to
isolated molecules that will be described. A first approximation to the
spectra of molecular crystals can be obtained, however, by treating each
molecule or ion in the crystal as isolated, but with its own symmetry
reduced to the symmetry of the crystal at the "site" where the molecule
or ion is located.

Once all the symmetry elements have been located and the point
group has been determined, the characters of each symmetry operation in
a reducible representation of dimension 3N - 6 can be calculated according
to the following rules:
• For each operation E or C^: Count the number of atoms that are not
shifted when the symmetry operation is performed. Subtract 2.
Multiply by the appropriate factor in Table 4.
• For each operation i, S, or a: Count the number of atoms that are
not shifted when the symmetry operation is performed. Multiply by
the appropriate factor in Table 4.

• Infrared spectra: will include all the fundamental modes with the
same symmetry as T , and/or Tg. The vibrations in the same
species as (T ,T)i7 or (T x ,T y ,T_)z will be double or triple degenerate
respectively.
• Raman spectra: will include all the fundamental modes with the
same symmetry as any component of a. The vibrations in the same
species as a ^ , a , a g g will be polarized (totally in the cubic
groups, partially in the rest). The vibrations in the same species
as axy a yz , and/or a zx will be depolarized.

Raman active, each spectrum should show four bands; (2) in the Raman,
26
the bands may be partially polarized and the E bands will be depolar-
ized; and (3) in the infrared spectra of gaseous ammonia the bands

(2) In the Raman, the A' bands may be partially polarized and the

The plane of the molecule (o) and the
plane through the center of the C=C bond
and perpendicular to it (a') are planes
of symmetry. The intersection of both planes is a C 2 . There are no
other symmetry elements (except the identity) and the molecule belongs,
therefore, to the C 2 y point group.

Therefore
Step 4
From the character table of point group C"2y: (1) All bands are
Raman active and only the A2 bands are infrared inactive. There will
be, therefore, 5/1 \ + 4B! + IB2 = 10 infrared bands and 5A\ + 2A2 +
4Bi + IB2 = 12 Raman bands (of which 10 should coincide with the in-
frared). (2) The 5i4j Raman bands may be polarized; the rest will be

Step 1
There are no C3*s or higher order axes,
but it i'j easy to find three perpendicular
(?2' s passing through the center of the C=C
bond — one coincident with the bond, one
laying in the molecular plane, and the
third perpendicular to the first two. Thus, the possible groups are
reduced to D2> or D The existence of the three planes of
symmetry determined by pairs of C2 decides in favor of D

frequencies of the 3ff* bands coinciding in both spectra. (2) The 2A^

Step 4
From the character table of the point group T^: CI) All four bands
should appear in the Raman spectra while only the 2F2 frequencies should
show in the infrared. C2) The Ai Raman band should be completely
polarized, while the other three bands should be depolarized.
