Abstract

The non-rigid molecule group theory (NRG), in which the dynamical symmetry operations are defined as physical operations, is a new field of chemistry. In a series of papers Smeyers applied this notion to determine the character table of restricted NRG of some molecules. In this work, a simple method is described, by means of which it is possible to calculate character tables for the symmetry group of molecules consisting of a number of NH₃ groups attached to a rigid framework. We have studied the full non-rigid group (f-NRG) of tetraammine platinum(II) with the symmetry group C_2v and we have proven that it is a group of order 216 with 27 conjugacy classes. We have also computed the character table of this group.
