Abstract

The non-rigid molecule group theory in which the dynamical symmetry operations are defined as physical operations is applied to determine the character table for the full non-rigid molecule group (f-NRG) of tetramethylethylene. We show that the f-NRG of this molecule is a group of order 324, the structure of which is formed as the wreath product Z3 Sine wave(Z2xZ2), in which Z3 is the cyclic group of order 3 and Z2 denotes the cyclic group of order two. Using the group theory package GAP, we calculate the conjugacy classes and character table of this molecule.
