Under C4v symmetry, which irreducible representations, if any, correspond to an IR active vibration and which ones correspond to a Raman active vibration? 

And which ones correspond to an IR active vibration under D2h symmetry? 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

For a molecule to be vibrational active, check the irreducible representations corresponding to x, y and z. For a molecule to be Raman active, check the irreducible representations corresponding to quadratic functions.
