The Normal Modes and Frequencies of Vibration of the Regular Plane Hexagon Model of the Benzene Molecule
Abstract
The thirty modes of vibration of the regular plane hexagon model for the benzene molecule, including both the hydrogen and carbon atoms, are derived by the group theory method described by Wigner. From these the twenty frequencies of vibration are calculated in terms of a simple potential function involving six force constants. Selection rules for the Raman and infrared spectra are listed. Seven fundamentals are permitted in the Raman spectrum and four fundamentals in the infrared. Both analytical and graphical descriptions of the modes of vibration are given. These depend largely on the symmetry of the molecule and are only in part influenced by the choice of potential function adopted.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
