    The document summarizes calculating the characters of the antisymmetrized direct product of the basis that spans the irreducible representation E for the point group C3v. It shows the character table for C3v, the general formula for calculating characters of antisymmetrized direct products, and its application to the basis {x, y} that spans E. The resulting characters 1, 1, -1 correspond to the irreducible representation A2, so the antisymmetric part of E × E is A2.

    The general formula to calculate the characters of the antisymmetrized direct


    product of the basis that spans the irreducible representation (l) is
    
    1  (l)

    (R)2 (l) R2 .

    The basis {x, y} in C3v spans E, so were going to find the characters of the
    antisymmetric part of E E:
    
    1  (E)
    (E)2 (E) (E)
    () (E) =
    2
    1
    = (4 2) = 1;

    (C3 )2 (E) (C3 )

    = (1 (1)) = 1;

    () (C3 ) =

    
    1  (E)
    (v )2 (E) (E)
    2

    = (0 2) = 1.
    2

    () (v ) =

    The characters 1, 1 and 1 for, respectively, E, C3 and v correspond to the


    symmetry species A2 . We conclude that the antisymmetric part of E E is A2 .
