Title: Octahedral Symmetry?
Post by: qcan375 on February 17, 2006, 11:39:06 AM

I am trying to find the reducible representation for a complex GeF6 -2 which has an octahedral geometry.

I keep getting numbers that are not multiples of 48 (i.e. 1/48) which should yield whole numbers for the A1g, A1u. A2g, A2u....

Has anyone done a reducible rep. of an Octahedral group? or is there a website that has some information on this.

Really appreciate it if anyone can help.

you might want to post the actual problem here and show your work.
