3) Rotation and the n-fold rotation axis (C,)A body has an n-fold axis of symmetry (also called n-fold properaxis or n-fold rotation axis) if rotation about this axis by 360/ndegrees gives a configuration indistinguishable from the original oneExample: Rotation of BF3 around its C3 axis.Allowed rotations: C,1(α=2元/3), C,2(α=4元/3), C,3 = E120'rotation120°rotationC3There also exist three C, axes each along a B-F bond!The principal rotation axis is the axis of the highest fold
Example: Rotation of BF3 around its C3 axis. Allowed rotations: C3 1 (=2/3), C3 2 (=4/3), C3 3 = E C3 2 A body has an n-fold axis of symmetry (also called n-fold proper axis or n-fold rotation axis) if rotation about this axis by 360/n degrees gives a configuration indistinguishable from the original one. 3) Rotation and the n-fold rotation axis (Cn ) • There also exist three C2 axes each along a B-F bond! • The principal rotation axis is the axis of the highest fold.
