The Cyclic Groups

Cyclic groups contain only operations derived from the repeated application of a single rotational symmetry operation. The point group is C if the repeated operation is a simple rotation, and we have the point group S if it is an improper rotation axis. In both cases the subscript denotes the order of the axis. 

All the operations in a cyclic group commute with one another, because a product of two operations can easily be written as the root operation applied multiple times. For example  

A group with this property is termed Abelian. 

the simplest of the C groups, is another example in which there is only a single operation other than E present, since C2 is its own inverse. 

Groups containing only 5 axes must be of even order. This is because point groups containing odd-order improper rotation axes wiU always have the associated horizontal mirror plane as an additional symmetry element through the equivalence, 5 = n odd),

Applying the above symmetry formulation to armchair (n = m) and zigzag (m = 0) nanotubes, we find that such nanotubes have a symmetry group given by the product of the cyclic group and Cj , where 2n consists of only two symmetry operations the identity, and a rotation by 2ir/2n about the tube axis followed by a translation by T/2.

If the cyclic group 2 is associated with the coronas of order k k 1, 2,. ..) then two graphs which are congruent according to the definition of Sec. 34 are called "planar nondistinct", while jf they are noncongruent in this sense they are called "planar distinct". 

Though these substances are not monocyclic like benzene—and Hiickel s rule should not, strictly, apply to them—the introduction of the transannular bond, that makes them bi- and tricyclic, respectively, seems to cause relatively little perturbation, so far as delocalisation of the n electrons over the cyclic group of ten or fourteen carbon atoms is concerned. 

We will first consider an abelian group, namely the cyclic group Zra. The pi s forming a regular representation commute with each other and...

Some of the information pertaining to a group is stored in property lists. Table I exemplifies how this looks for the simple case of the cyclic group of order three. (This would be isomorphic to the rotational subgroup of a molecule such as methyl fluoride. The operators (1 2 3) and (1 3 2) would correspond to the permutations of the three hydrogen nucleii numbered 1, 2 and 3. NIL, the language s symbol for the empty list, serves as the identity.)... 

Just as for the cyclic group each irreducible representation is represented once in the collection of molecular (now called crystal) orbitals, and there are now a very large number of them corresponding to the number of atoms in the crystal. For the translation group however, the characters take on a particularly simple form. 

The cyclic group 14 polyanions are usually found in ternary materials that contain two types of cations which, in addition to providing charge balance, perform different roles. The structures typically consist of cyclic polyanions that are stacked in an eclipsed fashion to form columns. One type of cation coordinates to the anions and separates them within the column, whereas the second type segregates the columns. These ternary materials are typically prepared by heating stoichiometric amounts of the three elements in an unreactive metal tube, e.g. niobium, at very high temperatures (>800°C) followed by slow annealing at lower temperatures. 

In like manner the cycloparaffins form the structural basis of the cyclic group. Cycloolefins, -diolefins, and -triolefins may be regarded as derivatives of the cycloparaffins having the same carbon skeleton. The aromatic series forms a particular case among the cyclohexatrienes, in which the three double bonds are spaced symmetrically around a six-atom carbon ring.

The group Cm is the cyclic group of rotations by angle -k with 0 < k < m — 1 around a fixed axis A. 

There are only two groups of order 4 that are not isomorphous and so have different multiplication tables. Derive the multiplication tables of these two groups, G4 and G4. [Hints. First derive the multiplication table of the cyclic group of order 4. Call this group G4. How many elements of G4 are equal to their inverse Now try to construct further groups in which a different number of elements are equal to their own inverse. Observe the rearrangement theorem.]...

Not just the number and the character of the cyclic group but also the mode of linking of the substituents are important for anticholinergic activity. Two benzene rings are linked differently in 2-diethylaminoethyl esters of di-phenylacetic acid (39), fluorene-9-carboxylic acid (40) and p-biphenylacetic acid (41). Of these, the diphenylaceticacid derivatives have the highest anticholinergic activity (193).
