Get Point Group Determination Chart

The Point Group Determination Chart is a valuable tool for categorizing molecular structures based on symmetry and geometric properties. This guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions for accurately completing the form online.

Follow the steps to successfully complete the Point Group Determination Chart.

1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the Point Group Determination Chart and open it in the editor.
2. Begin with the first question: Determine if the molecule is linear. Select 'Yes' or 'No' based on the molecular structure presented.
3. Next, assess whether the molecule contains an inversion center. Again, select 'Yes' or 'No'. This will help guide the subsequent steps.
4. Evaluate if the molecule has two or more unique C3 axes. Make your selection while considering the symmetry of the molecule.
5. Proceed to check for the presence of two or more unique C5 axes. Input your response appropriately.
6. Address the question regarding the inversion center once more, selecting 'Yes' or 'No'. This will influence the subsequent designations.
7. Continue by determining if there are two or more unique C4 axes. Provide your answer based on your findings.
8. Next, identify if the molecule contains one or more reflection planes and again answer with 'Yes' or 'No'.
9. Next, determine if there is a proper rotation axis (Cn) and identify the highest order Cn present. This is important for later identification.
10. Evaluate the number of perpendicular C2 axes present and select your response. This will further clarify the molecular symmetry.
11. Assess the presence of reflection planes, including horizontal reflection planes ('h') and indicate your answers.
12. Finally, review all your inputs to ensure accuracy, then you can save changes, download, print, or share the completed Point Group Determination Chart as needed.
