Determine the number (and relative intensity) of IR-active C–O stretching vibrations for fac-[Mo(CO)3(NCMe)3]:
Proceed as follows...
Determine the point group of the molecule. Do not descend in symmetry.
Construct a reducible representation for the CO vibrations (ΓCO) -- [please explain how to determine the number of unshifted atoms]
Decompose ΓCO into its irreducible representation ΓCO,i.r.
Determine which are IR active (number of IR active modes)
Double degenerate modes (i.r. with E symmetry) are ≈ twice as intense as other modes, and
triply degenerate modes (i.r. with T symmetry) are ≈ three times as intense.
