Abstract

The unifying power of the use of trigonometric basis functions in group character tables is demonstrated. Additionally, these functions provide a simple way of generating pictures of symmetry coordinates. This is illustrated for the in-plane stretch and out-of-plane deformation motions of the C-H bonds in benzene. Their application to orbital symmetry applications is also indicated.
