scipp.ucsc.eduwhich implies that any three-dimensional rotation can be described by a counterclock-wise rotation by an angle θ about an arbitrary axis nˆ, where 0 ≤ θ ≤ π. However, if we substitute θ = π in eq. (5), we conclude that R(nˆ,π) = R(−nˆ,π), (6) which means that for …

Rotation by an angle about an arbitrary axis containing the origin and having unit length direction U = (U x;U y;U z) is given by R U( ) = I+ (sin )S+ (1 cos )S2 (4)

www.chem.tamu.eduMolecular axis is C∞ - rotation by any arbitrary angle (360/∞)o, so infinite number of rotations. Also any plane containing axis is symmetry plane, so infinite number of planes of symmetry. Divide linear molecules into two groups: Do in fact fit into scheme - but they have an infinite number of symmetry operations.
