- Neopentane, C(CH3)4, has Tď symmetry, with character table provided below. Suppose the characters of a reducible representation of this point group are x(E) = 17, x(C3) = 2, x(C₂) = 5, x(S4) = -3, and x(od) = -5 (this is shown explicitly in the last row of the character table). (a) Use the T₁ irreducible representation to determine the order of the point group using the Little Orthogonality Theorem (Vallance Eq. 1.15.13, see Problem 3).
