benzene, vector and spinor representations of symmetry groups, normal-vibration patterns, classes of symmetry-group projective representations, electronic states, spin-dependent splittingAbstract
Analytical expressions and vector images have been constructed for all patterns of the normal vibrations, including doubly degenerate ones, of a benzene molecule C6H6 using the projection operator on the matrix elements of irreducible representations of the point symmetry group 6/mmm (D6ℎ). The characters of representations corresponding to the symmetry of both the electronic п-orbitals in a benzene molecule (without taking the electron spin into account) and the projective representations of its spinor п′-orbitals are found. The representations of the spinor п′-orbitals of a benzene molecule C6H6 belong to the projective class K1 and describe the fine structure of spin-dependent splitting of the degenerate spinless п-orbitals, which are revealed for the first time.
