When XeF4 was originally prepared a combination of IR and Raman spectroscopy was used to determine its geometric structure (nominal Dah Vs Td). The data showed three bands in the Raman and two bands in the IR (it was predicted that a third mode should have been observable, but it was too low in energy to be seen by the authors' instrumental set-up). a) Derive [3N for XeF4 in D4h and Td symmetries b) From [3N determine [vib for XeF4 in D4h and Ta symmetries c) Determine which normal modes are IR active and which are Raman active for XeF4 in Dah and Ta symmetries d) Show that the experimental vibrational data is consistent with square planar XeF4
