Atkins, Child, & Phillips: Tables for Group Theory Descent in symmetry and subgroups
The following tables show the correlation between the irreducible representations of a group and those of some of its subgroups. In a number of cases more than one correlation exists between groups. In Cs the of the heading indicates which of the planes in the parent group becomes the sole plane of Cs; in C2v it becomes must be set by a convention); where there are various possibilities for the correlation of C2 axes and planes in D4h and D6h with their subgroups, the column is headed by the symmetry operation of the parent group that is preserved in the descent.

when applied to a function f, generates a sum of functions that constitute a component of a basis for the representation (i); in order to generate the complete basis P (i) must be applied to li distinct functions f. The resulting functions may be made mutually orthogonal. When li = 1 the function generated is a basis for (i) without ambiguity:

The representative matrices are derived from the effect of the operation R on the basis (h1, h2, h3); see the figure below. For example

According to the general formula (b)(iii) the character (R) is the sum of the diagonal elements of D(R). For example, (2) = 0 + 1 + 0 = 1. The decomposition of follows from the formula (b)(vi): = a1A1 + a2A2 + aEE where
a1 = 1 {1 3 + 2 1 0 + 311} = 1 6
a2 = 1 {1 3 + 2 1 0 + 31 (1)} = 0 6

(E) and '(E) provide a valid basis for the E representation, but the orthogonal combinations
Combination of the electron spins yields both singlet and triplet states, but for the e2 configuration some possibilities are excluded. Since the total (spin and orbital) state must be antisymmetric under electron interchange, the antisymmetrized spatial combination [A2] must be a triplet, and the symmetrized combinations A1 and E are singlets. For the e1t21 configuration there are no exclusions. The required terms are therefore e2 1A1 + 3A2 +1E e1t21 1T1 + 1T2 +3T1 + 3T2 The selection rules are obtained from formula (b)(viii). For electric dipole transitions the operator (j) has the symmetry of a vector (x, y, z), which from the character table for Td transforms as T2. From the table of direct products, Table 7, A1 T2 = T2 A2 T1 = T2 E T 2 = E T 1 = T1 + T2
Assuming the spin selection rule S = 0, the allowed transitions are e2 1A1 e1t21 1T2 e2 3A2 e1t21 3T1 e2 1E e1t21 1T1,1T2

The representations spanned by the vibrational coordinates are based on the 5 3 cartesian displacements less the representations T1 and T2, which are accounted for by the rotations (Rx, Ry, Rz) and the translations (x, y, z). The stretching vibrations are the subset based on the 4 bonds of the molecule. For a particular symmetry operation, only atoms (or bonds) that remain invariant can contribute to the character of the cartesian displacement representation, (all) (or the stretching representation, (stretch)). C3: Two atoms invariant, x, y, z, interchanged One bond invariant
(all)(C3) = 0 (stretch)(C3) = 1
C2(z): Central atom invariant; x, y, sign reversed, z invariant (all)(C3) = 0 No bonds invariant (stretch) (C2) = 0 S4(z): Central atom invariant; x, y, interchanged, z sign reversed x(all)(S4) = 1 No bonds invariant (stretch)(S4) = 0 d(z): Three atoms invariant; x, y, interchanged, z invariant x (all)(d) = 3 Two bonds invariant (stretch)(d) = 2 The characters of the representations (all) and (stretch) are therefore E 15 4 8C3 0 1 3C2 1 0 6S4 1 0 6d 3 2

(alI) and (stretch) have been decomposed with the help of formula (b)(vi) (compare Example 1). Allowing for the rotations and translations contained in (all) there are therefore four fundamental vibrations, conventionally labelled 1 (A1), 2(E), 3(T2), and 4(T2). 1 and v2 are stretching and bending vibrations respectively, 3 and 4 involve both stretching and bending motions.
