Trigonometric Basis Set Functions: Their Application to the C-H Stretching and Deformation Motions of Benzene and to Orbital Symmetry

Abstract
The unifying power of the use of trigonometric basis functions in group character tables is demonstrated. Additionally, these functions provide a simple way of generating pictures of symmetry coordinates. This is illustrated for the in-plane stretch and out-of-plane deformation motions of the C-H bonds in benzene. Their application to orbital symmetry applications is also indicated.
