On the symmetry properties of non-rigid molecules

A unified approach

Pages 863-875 | Received 18 Dec 1978, Published online: 23 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

A unified, constructive approach to the symmetry properties of non-rigid molecules is outlined and the relation of the formalism to the permutation-inversion, isometric and isodynamic theories is discussed. The formulation of the molecular symmetry group as a semi-direct product is considered and isodynamic operations are defined as generalizations of the conventional Wigner vibrational symmetry operations.
