For both isomers shown above (cis C and trans Dah), determine how the CO bond vectors transform under the symmetry operations of their respective point groups to generate the reducible representations for CO bond stretching. (Please use the coordinate system given to the left.) Reduce the l'co representations into their component irreducible representations to determine the number and symmetry of the CO stretching modes for the cis and trans isomers. "sing the result from part b and the character tables, which of the CO stretching modes for the cis and trans isomers are IR active? R active modes for cis: Based on this information, assign the isomers from Cotton and Darensbourg's study: B: cis or trans A: cis or trans trans: (Optional) Use the projection operator to "map" the function of the IR active CO stretching modes of the compound.
