Binary products

We will examine the applicability of this model to metallic solutions by using the refined version which considers that differences in atom sizes will give rise to local inhomogeneities of structure. Because of the negligible error, we will omit all terms having binary products of p, d, and 0, except for p2. 

When one of the cartesian coordinates (i.e. x, y, or z) of a centrosymmetric molecule is inverted through the center of symmetry it is transformed into the negative of itself. On the other hand, a binary product of coordinates (i.e. xx, yy, zz, xz, yz, zx) does not change sign on inversion since each coordinate changes sign separately. Hence for a centrosymmetric molecule every vibration which is infrared active has different symmetry properties with respect to the center of symmetry than does any Raman active mode. Therefore, for a centrosymmetric molecule no single vibration can be active in both the Raman and infrared spectrum. 

Coupling of other vindoline derivatives with ring D or E modified oxidation levels (92-96) to catharanthine N-oxide provided new binary products for biological evaluation 39, 95-97). The two diastereomeric C-16 -C-14 PARE anhydrovinblastines 42 and 97 were obtained in a 46 54 ratio (50% yield) from racemic catharanthine (98), and the corresponding 20 -desethyl compounds 98 and 99 were generated at - 20°C in a 1 1 ratio (16% yield each), and at -76°C in lower yields, together with the corre-... 

There a number of factors involved in determining just what the product turns out to be. An obvious one is consideration of the solubility of the various products (and intermediates) The lower the value of K p of one binary product relative to another, the more likely that product is (in principle) to deposit preferentially. This simple consideration is complicated by a number of other factors. One is the tendency of metal ions to coadsorb on the (usually high-surface-area) pri-... 

Let us first specify what we mean by a complete set of symmetry operations for a particular molecule. A complete set is one in which every possible product of two operations in the set is also an operation in the set. Let us consider as an example the set of operations which may be performed on a planar AB3 molecule. These are E, C3, Cjj, C2, C2, CJ, symmetry operations are possible. If we number the B atoms as indicated, we can systematically work through all binary products for example ... 

In the columns on the right are some of the basis functions which have the symmetry properties of a given irreducible representation. R, Ry, and R. stand for rotations around the specified axes. The binary products on the far right indicate, for example, how the d atomic orbitals will behave ( transform ) under the operations of the group. 

The atomic orbitals suitable for combination into hybrid orbitals in a given molecule or ion will he those that meet certain symmetry criteria. The relevant symmetry properties of orbitals can be extracted from character tables by simple inspection. We have already pointed out (page 60) that the p, orbital transforms in a particular point group in the same manner as an x vector. In other words, a px orbital can serve as a basis function for any irreducible representation that has "x" listed among its basis functions in a character table. Likewise, the pr and p. orbitals transform as y and vectors. The d orbitals—d d dy, d >, t, and d ,—transform as the binary products xy, xz, yr, x2 — y2, and z2, respectively. Recall that degenerate groups of vectors, orbitals, etc, are denoted in character tables by inclusion within parentheses. 

Note that g, means a set of elements of which g,- is a typical member, but in no particular order. The easiest way of keeping a record of the binary products of the elements of a group is to set up a multiplication table in which the entry at the intersection of the g,th row and gyth column is the binary product g - g - = gk, as in Table 1.1. It follows from the rearrangement theorem that each row and each column of the multiplication table contains each element of G once and once only. 

The probability of a transition being induced by interaction with electromagnetic radiation is proportional to the square of the modulus of a matrix element of the form where the state function that describes the initial state transforms as F, that describing the final state transforms as Tk, and the operator (which depends on the type of transition being considered) transforms as F. The strongest transitions are the El transitions, which occur when Q is the electric dipole moment operator, — er. These transitions are therefore often called electric dipole transitions. The components of the electric dipole operator transform like x, y, and z. Next in importance are the Ml transitions, for which Q is the magnetic dipole operator, which transforms like Rx, Ry, Rz. The weakest transitions are the E2 transitions, which occur when Q is the electric quadrupole operator which, transforms like binary products of x, v, and z. 

For tensors of higher rank we must ensure that the bases are properly normalized and remain so under the unitary transformations that correspond to proper or improper rotations. For a symmetric T(2) the six independent components transform like binary products. There is only one way of writing xx xx, but since xx x2 = x2 xx the factors xx and x2 may be combined in two equivalent ways. For the bases to remain normalized under unitary transformations the square of the normalization factor N for each tensor component is the number of combinations of the suffices in that particular product. F or binary products of two unlike factors this number is two (namely ij and ji) and so N2 = 2 and x, x appears as /2x,- Xj. The properly normalized orthogonal basis transforming like... 

Zik is a measure of the zth component of the electric field produced by the Mi component of the temperature gradient (eq. (27)) and Zik is a measure of the effect of the /th component of the magnetic induction Bt on Zik. Therefore, T,ik describes the coupling between a 7)2), Zik, and an axial vector B, the components of which transform like Rx Ry Rz. The components Yk) of a 7)2) transform like binary products of coordinates, that is like the nine quantities... 

Before discussing other examples, we note here that, for a centrosymmet-ric molecule (one with an inversion center), rx, ry, and rz are u (from the German word ungerade, meaning odd) species, while binary products of x, y, and z have g (gerade, meaning even) symmetry. Thus infrared active modes will be Raman forbidden, and Raman active modes will be infrared forbidden. In other words, there are no coincident infrared and Raman bands for a centrosymmetric molecule. This relationship is known as the mle of mutual exclusion. 

Another useful relationship As the totally symmetric irreducible representation Fys in every group is always associated with one or more binary products ofx, y, and z and it follows that totally symmetric vibrational modes are always Raman active.

Ket-bra operators. - The dual product [11 x] is essentially different from the binary product , which is customarily used in quantum theory, but one can still pick up certain ideas from this field. Following Dirac, one can consider even the bracket [11 x] as the "product" of a bra-vector [11 and a ket-vector x], which means that one can also introduce a ket-bra operator G = xi]fi defined in the original space A = (x) through the relation... 

One may use such a binary product to define the length x of an element x through the relation x = (x x)1/2, which gives... 

Case of a symmetric binary product.- In many applications, it is convenient to have Xrr = X, and this is achieved if one assumes that the binary product (xi x2) is symmetric in the two positions, so that... 

Binary products with one linear and one anti-linear position. - As another tool, which is perhaps more familiar to the physicists, we will now introduce a binary product for two elements y and x out of the linear space A = (x), which is anti-linear in the first position and linear in the second, so that...
