Home work problems for material already covered in chapter 8: 4, 6, 7a,b, 19 20, 29, 34, 35 (Due on Thursday March

1) Assignment to replace Tuesday's class: Read section 8.3 subsection Unpaired Electrons and Magnetic Properties and all of section 8.4 on electronic spectroscopy. Then dok the following problems: 11, 12, 13, 14 Chapter 5: 12, 15, 20, 21 Chapter 9: 23, 25, 27 P9: Do a complete vibrational analysis of the square planar, PtCl4 minus 2 anion. Please number and answer each of the following in the order given. 1. What is the point group of the molecule? 2. Use the contribution/unshifted atom method to determine the reducible representation that represents the total degrees of freedom for the ion. 3. Reduce the reducible representation to a direct sum of the irreducible representations of the group. 4. What are the symmetries of the translational modes of the molecule? 5. What are the symmetries of the rotational modes of the molecule? 6. What are the symmetries of the vibrational modes of the molecule? 7. What are the symmetries of the stretching modes of the molecule? 8. What are the symmetries of the bending modes of the molecule? 9. What are the symmetries of the out of plane bending modes of the molecule, if any? 10. Are there any spurious modes? If so what are there symmetries? 11. Which of the modes are IR active? 12. Which of the modes are Raman active? 13. Which of the modes are Raman polarized? Dr. Ilsley
