The CNP group has 6 elements – but what are the
cyclic permutations (123) and (132) ?

Transposition
Cyclic permutations
{E, (12), (13), (23), (123), (132)}
are all possible permutations

Examples of „multiplication“

(12)(123) = (23)
(12)(12) 1 2 3 2 1 3 = (12)
= 1 2 3 E = 1 2 3
(12)(12) = E; (12) = (12)-1
Examples of „multiplication“
(132)(123) 1 2 3 2 3 1 = (132)
= 1 2 3 E = 1 2 3

Group axioms
•All possible products RS = T belong to the group
•Group contains neutral element E (which does nothing)
•Each element has inverse element R1 (R1R =RR1 =E) in the group
•Associative law (AB)C = A(BC) holds, e.g.
(12)(123)(23) = (12) [(123)(23)] = [(12)(123)] (23)
= (12)(12) = (23) (23) = E
since (123)(23) = (12) and (12)(123) = (23)
Examples:
C2v = {E, C2, 1, 2 }
C2v(M) = {E, (12), E*, (12)*}

Subgroups
A and B are both groups
A = {A1, A2, A3, ......................., An }
B = {A1, A2, A3, ....., Am }
m < n

Isomorphism
A = {A1, A2, A3, ....., An }
B = {B1, B2, B3, ....., Bn }
The two groups are isomorphic if there exists a one-to-one
correspondence of all elements

Example: Class structure of
S3 = {E, (12), (13), (23), (123), (132) }
1. Select element X S3
2. Form R-1 X R for all elements R S3
3. The elements R-1 X R form a class.
1) X = E
R-1 E R = R-1
R = E for all R S3
E forms a class of its own for any group

Point groups Example: PH3 at equilibrium
Point group:
C3v = {E, C3, C32, 1, 2, 3 }
Symmetry elements:
C3, 1, 2, 3
C3 Rotation axis
k Reflection plane
Other point groups have rotation-reflection axes also
Point group operations work on points in space P
P‘ = 1 P
„Multiplication“ is possible, e.g.
C32 = 2 1
C32 = 2 1
