Delve into the analysis of IR and Raman spectra of the water molecule in C2v symmetry using a character table. Explore the movement of water molecules with 3 atoms, 9 coordinates, and a 9x9 matrix in the general case. Discover the active modes in Raman and IR spectroscopy, with emphasis on the symmetric flat structure in C2h and CH4 molecules.

Lecture 4 We have a character table What can we say about IR and Raman spectra?
Water molecule C2v
General case: water molecule movement 3 atoms 9 coordinates Matrix 9×9
2 1 Water molecule: m = 0; myz =1 m0 =1
Active in Raman Active in IR
Same symmetry: Flat: C2h
CH4 m3=1, m0=1
