The phenanthrene molecule (29) belongs to the group C2v with the C2 axis perpendicular
Chapter 12, Problem 12.17(choose chapter or problem)
The phenanthrene molecule (29) belongs to the group C2v with the C2 axis perpendicular to the molecular plane. (a) Classify the irreducible representations spanned by the carbon 2pz orbitals and find their symmetryadapted linear combinations. (b) Use your results from part (a) to calculate the Hckel secular determinant. (c) What states of phenanthrene may be reached by electric dipole transitions from its (totally symmetrical) ground state?
