Part 10: C2v through bond reducible representation Group Theory IR vibrational modes

In this video I do a reducible representation of a C2v molecule of the bonds only to show the vibrational modes that each bond is contributing to the irreducible representation.

Part 9: Solving D3h point group continued. Using group theory to find number of IR and Raman bands.

I will post up the reducible representations later!

Part 8: D3h point group theory problem for inorganic chemistry, IR and Raman stretching solved

In this video I first find a reducible representation of a trigonal bipyramidal geometry molecule then reduce it down to the reducible representation.

In the next video I finish the problem.

Part 7: Example Group Theory C3v point group Irreducible Representation IR stretching bands

Here is an easy C3v molecule that is solved out from a reducible representation to an irreducible representation.

The molecule is a Ni- tetracarbonyl compound that is in a trigonal-pyramidal formation, which is actually not how this molecule should look in nature (it should really be a tetrahedral compound).

In the future I will do longer problems!!!

Part 6: Picking Point Groups using Character Tables and Group Theory

In this video I talk about how to find point groups using the flow chart method.

Basic Formula:
1) Rule out low symmetry
2) Rule out High symmetry
3) Based on the rotation axes decide on C or D family, and find the primary rotation axis.
4) pick appropriate C or D subgroup.

Part 5: Picking Point Groups for Group Theory in Inorganic Chemistry

In this video I talk about high symmetry point groups.

Part 4: Picking Point Groups for Inorganic Chemistry Group Theory

In this video I talk about some low symmetry point groups.

Part 3: Symmetry operations E, Inversion, and S for group theory in Inorganic Chemistry

In this video I talk about the I, E, and S symmetry operations.

Part 2: Reflection Symmetry operations for group theory Inorganic Chemistry

In this video I talk about reflection symmetry operations.

Part 1: Introduction to Symmetry Operations for Group Theory

I this video I just talk about how Rotational symmetry operations work.
