Consider a trigonal bipyramidal molecule XY5. (i) To which point group does this molecule belong? (ii) How many normal modes and how many stretching vibrations will this molecule exhibit? (iii) Determine the irreducible representations of stretching vibrations of this molecule. Clearly show all your work. (iv) Which of these vibrations stretching are IR and which are Raman active? Justify your choice How many normal modes and how many stretching vibrations will this molecule exhibit

The structure of [NO3]-is either trigonal planar or trigonal pyramidal draw both possible structures and determine the point group for each. Which irreducible representations represent the translational and rotational modes for each possible structure of [NO3]-? Which irreducible representations correspond to the vibrational modes for each possible structure of [NO3]-? How many degrees of freedom would you expect for each structure of [NO3]-? Calculate T-vibrationaland determine which modes you expect to be IR active for each structure.

Determine the number (and relative intensity) of IR-active C–O stretching vibrations for fac-[Mo(CO)3(NCMe)3]: Proceed as follows... Determine the point group of the molecule. Do not descend in symmetry. Construct a reducible representation for the CO vibrations (ΓCO) -- [please explain how to determine the number of unshifted atoms] Decompose ΓCO into its irreducible representation ΓCO,i.r. Determine which are IR active (number of IR active modes) Double degenerate modes (i.r. with E symmetry) are ≈ twice as intense as other modes, and triply degenerate modes (i.r. with T symmetry) are ≈ three times as intense.
