trans-dichloroethene
« on: May 24, 2009, 08:53:36 AM »
When evaluating the number and mode of vibrations of trans-dichloroethene do you determine how the chlorines and the carbons orbitals transform under the symmetry operations of the point group or just the carbons orbitals?  I tried doing it using only the carbons orbitals and got a bit of a weird result!

Thanks
