Abstract
It is well known that the selection rules for the activity of vibrations of molecules in the Raman effect are different from those for infrared absorption. For molecules having a center of symmetry the principle of mutual exclusion holds: vibrations that are active in infrared absorption are inactive in the Raman effect and vice versa. Highly symmetric molecules may have quite a number of vibrations that are inactive in both effects, the so-called silent modes. Of the 20 vibrations of the benzene molecule, for instance, A are infrared active, 7 Raman active, and 9 silent modes.
