• The representation of symmetry operation requires strong background about linear algebra.
Vectors
(x, y, z)
Reference system
A (x, y, z) or, xyz
Norm or magnitude of vectors
|𝑨|=‖x , y , z‖=√ x2+ y2+z2
Angle between two vectors () and is

Linear transformations and matrices

is the element of matrix.
Convention is that the principal axis of rotation (rotation axis with highest n) positioned to be coincident with the z axis
• Symmetry operation can be represented by a matrix.
1) Identity :x1
y1
z1
E ?x1
y1
z1
= =x1
y1
z1
matrix satisfying this condition is:
1 0 00 1 00 0 1
1 0 00 1 00 0 1
Therefore, E = E is always the unit matrix
2) Reflection :x1
y1
z1
(xy)x1
y1
-z1
= (xy) =1 0 00 1 00 0 -1
Similarly, (xz) =1 0 00 -1 00 0 1
and (yz) =-1 0 00 1 00 0 1
3) Inversion :x1
y1
z1
i-x1
-y1
-z1
= =-1 0 00 -1 00 0 -1
4) Proper axis of rotation:
o Because of convention, φ, and hence zi, is not transformed under Cn(θ) projection into xy plane need only be ∴considered… i.e., rotation of vector v(xi,yi) through θ
x1 = v cosy1 = v sin
Cn() x2 = v cos [-] = v cos y2 = v sin [- (] = - v sin (
Using identity relations
x2 = v cos (= v cos cos + v sin sin = x1 cos + y1 sin y2 = - v sin (= -v sin cos + v cos sin =- x1 sin + y1 cos
Reformulating in terms of matrix representation:
x1
y1
z1
Cn() = x1 cos + y1 sin - x1 sin + y1 cos
z1
= cos sin 0 - sin cos 0 0 0 1
Where,
The above matrix representation is completely general for any rotation θ…
For example, C3,
3 =
cos sin 0 - sin cos 0 0 0 1
0 0 0 0 1=
5) Improper axis of rotation:
Like operators themselves, matrix operations may be manipulated with simple matrix algebra…above direct product yields matrix representation for Sn..
h Cn() = Sn()
1 0 00 1 00 0 -1
cos sin 0 - sin cos 0 0 0 1
cos sin 0 - sin cos 0 0 0 -1
