Question

Consider phosphorus pentafluoride, PF5, D3h symmetry.

The reducible representation for the 18 degrees of freedom is: 

A'1= 2

A'2= 1

E'= 4

A''1=0

A''2=3

E''=2

and given..

E=?

2C3(z)= 0

3C'2= -2

σ h(xy)=4

2S3= -2

σ v(yz)=4

 

what is E?

1.) What are the symmetry labels for the rotational modes?

2.) What are the symmetry labels for the translational modes?

3.) What are the symmetry labels for the vibrational modes?

4.) How many vibrational modes are present in this molecule?

5.) Which modes are IR active and Raman active? How many peaks expected for each spectrum and why?
