10/13/2015 Symmetry Effects Simplifies the amount of work needed to solve a problem reduces it by a factor of 2, 3 or more.

10/13/2015 Symmetry Effects Symmetric atoms in a molecule are energetically equivalent. - cyclopentadienide ion C 5 H 5 - Simplifies the appearance of spectra (the symmetric bonds absorb energy at identical energies): nmr, ir, etc. Simplifies crystallography (fewer unique atoms have to be located). Simplifies chemistry (symmetric atoms in a molecule react the same way).

10/13/2015 Elements of Symmetry Look at diagrams or models of the following molecules What is symmetric about each? Are they symmetric in the same way? Are some more symmetric than others? H2OH2O HCN HCCH CH 2 Cl 2 NH 3 BF 3 C6H6C6H6 PtCl 4 2-

10/13/2015 Rotational Symmetry O H H How many equivalent positions are there? C2C2 What is the rotational order for each molecule? Rotation about an axis produces two or more equivalent structures. H2OH2O HCN HCCH CH 2 Cl 2 NH 3 BF 3 C6H6C6H6 PtCl 4 2-

10/13/2015 Rotational Symmetry Can a molecule have more than one rotation axis? Rotation about an axis produces two or more equivalent structures. H2OH2O HCN HCCH CH 2 Cl 2 NH 3 BF 3 C6H6C6H6 PtCl 4 2-
