Z vector

You should try to prove this. For example under Gy, the H2 and H3 atoms are interchanged, so unit vectors on either one will not contribute to the trace. Unit z-vectors on N and H1 remain unchanged as well as the corresponding y-vectors. However, the x-... 

Note that we now have a as a vector in terms of x, y and z vectors as a function of the lattice distances in the three directions, ax, efy. ... 

Because this is a vector equation, we apply it to the z vector components. 

Our task here is to determine whether any of the three Cartesian components is nonzero. Since, in DAh the z vector transforms according to the AZu representation and a and y jointly according to the representation, we need to know whether either of the direct products, Blg x AZu x BZu or BiK x Eu x BZu contains the Aljt representation. It is a simple matter to show that the first one is equal to AlK while the second is equal to Eg. Thus, the <5— S transition is electric-dipole allowed with z polarization and forbidden for radiation with its electric vector in the xy plane. 

The character of the matrix corresponding to the operation ah may be found without writing out any part of the complete matrix itself. We note that the operation ah does not shift any vectors from one atom to another. Hence no set of vectors may be summarily ignored. We note further that each set of vectors will be affected by ah exactly the same way. Thus whatever contribution to the character is made by one of the four sets may simply be multiplied by 4 in order to get the total value of the character. In any one set, ah transforms the X and Y vectors into themselves and the Z vector into its own negative. Thus the submatrix for this set of vectors will be diagonal with the elements 1,1, and -1 and hence a character of 1. The character of the entire matrix corresponding to the operation ah is thus 4. 

Consider next the water molecule. As we have seen, it has a dipole moment, so we expect at least one IR-active mode. We have also seen that it has CIt, symmetry, and we may use this fact to help sort out the vibrational modes. Each normal mode of iibratbn wiff form a basis for an irreducible representation of the point group of the molecule.13 A vibration will be infrared active if its normal mode belongs to one of the irreducible representation corresponding to the x, y and z vectors. The C2 character table lists four irreducible representations A, Ait Bx, and B2. If we examine the three normal vibrational modes for HzO, we see that both the symmetrical stretch and the bending mode are symmetrical not only with respect to tbe C2 axis, but also with respect to the mirror planes (Fig. 3.21). They therefore have A, symmetry and since z transforms as A, they are fR active. The third mode is not symmetrical with respect to the C2 axis, nor is it symmetrical with respect to the ojxz) plane, so it has B2 symmetry. Because y transforms as Bt, this mode is also (R active. The three vibrations absorb at 3652 cm-1, 1545 cm-1, and 3756 cm-, respectively.

Let us examine the properties of eqn. (152) under the assumption of oriented connectivity. Let us fix some co-invariant simplex D0 zt 0, , 2,- = C > 0. Da has a unique steady state z°. Vector z° is positive since, due to the connectivity of the reaction digraph, no steady-state points exist on the boundary Da. Indeed, if we assume the opposite (some components z° are zero), we obtain kJt for such i and j as 2° 0 and z° = 0. But from this it follows that, moving along the direction of arrows in the graph of the reaction mechanism, we cannot get from the substances for which 2° 0 to those for which z° = 0, and this is contrary to oriented connectivity (the arrows in the reaction graph correspond, naturally, to the elementary reactions with non-zero rate constants). 

The four linear combinations with Ai and T2 symmetries of the four vectors zi,. .., Z4 forming a bonds with orbitals on atom A may be easily obtained by the technique of projection operators. Therefore, only the results are given in Table 7.1.8, where all linear combinations of ligand orbitals will be listed. It is noted that the four combinations of the z vectors are identical to the combinations of hydrogen Is orbitals obtained for methane. 

Among these, the direction numbers of the four z vectors are obvious. From these four vectors, any other vector may be generated by doing the cross product between an appropriate pair of vectors. For instance, yi = zi x Z4, xi = yi x zi, etc. 

The solution of the Z-vector equation (7-20) as well as the knowledge of eigenvectors (X + Y) and (X — Y) determine, for each excited state n, the variation P4 in the one-particle density matrix with respect to the ground state. 

Now, check the rules with a larger basis set, the Cartesian displacement coordinates of the atoms of HNNH (see Figure 4-8). Operation E leaves all the 12 vectors unchanged, so its character will be 12. C2 brings each atom into a different position so their vectors will also be shifted. This means that all vectors will have zero contribution to the character. The same applies to the inversion operation. Finally, as already worked out before, the horizontal reflection leaves all the x and y vectors unchanged and brings the four z vectors into their negative selves. The result is...
