The effect of strong Duschinsky type mixing of two normal coordinates Q1 and Q2 on the intensity of transitions in non-totally symmetric vibrations in electronic spectra is examined. Using a Fermi resonance type theory, expressions are derived for the intensity of transitions such as 1(1)02(0)1 and

✦ Synopsis
The effect of the noncorrespondence of normal coordinates on the Franck-Condon factors governing the appearance of non-totally symmetric vibrations in electronic spectra is examined. In a two-dimensional symmetry species containing vibrations 1 and 2, transitions such as 1 1 0 2 1 0 , 1 1 0 2 3 0 , etc. are given zero intensity in the usual theory, but it is shown using a simple model that noncorrespondence leads to their appearance with an intensity determined by the elements of the matrix connecting the normal coordinates in the two states. When applied to the 2600A ˚system of benzene the theory suggests that the transition 6 1 0 14 1 0 15 1 0 should have an observable intensity and this leads to a plausible assignment. This work suggests that the usual theory of non-totally symmetric vibrations needs to be modified to recognize that transitions of the sort 1 1 0 2 1 0 , and not 1 4 0 2 0 0 , are likely to be the most important after the leading member 1 2 0 2 0 0 .
