Like using a big computer to calculate E from exact H, we can, in principle, use the CNPI Group to label energy levels and to determine which ODME vanish for any molecule Using the CNPI Group for any molecule BUT there is one big problem: Superfluous symmetry labels

The number of versions of the minimum is given by: (order of CNPI group)/(order of point group) For CH 3 F this is 12/6 = 2 For benzene C 6 H 6 this is 1036800/24 = 43200, and using the CNPI group each energy level would get as symmetry label the sum of 43200 irreps. Clearly using the CNPI group gives very unwieldy symmetry labels. 3! x 2C 3v group has 6 elements

Omit NPI elements that connect versions since they are not useful; they are superfluous.

We are first going to set up the Molecular Symmetry Group for several non-tunneling (or “rigid”) molecules. We will notice a strange “resemblance” to the Point Groups of these molecules. We will examine this “resemblance” and show how it helps us to understand Point Groups.

The point group can be used to symmetry label the vibrational and electronic states of non-tunneling molecules. R PG H ev = H ev R PG Point group operations rotate/reflect electronic coords and vib displacements in a non-tunneling (rigid) molecule. 47 The rotational and nuclear spin coordinates are not transformed by the elements of a point group
48
The MSG can be used to classify The nspin, rotational, vibrational and electronic states of any molecule, including those molecules that exhibit tunneling splittings (“nonrigid” molecules). WE USE THE ETHYL RADICAL AS AN EXAMPLE OF A NONRIGID MOLECULE
49
The ethyl radical Number of elements in CNPIG = 5! x 2! x 2 = 480 The MSG of internally rotating ethyl is the following group of order 12: {E, (123),(132),(12)*,(23)*,(31)*, (45),(123)(45),(132)(45),(12)(45)*,(23)(45)*,(31)(45)*} H 4 C b H 5 a The MSG of rigid (nontunneling) ethyl is {E,(23)*} There are still plenty of unfeasible elements such as (14), (23), (145), E*, etc.
