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!!!

ReplyDeleteHow did you determine that the contributions of each atom will result in E,3, C, 2cos(theta)+1, etc? Can you show or site how you get that result from the transformation matrices?
