Abstract

A complete permutational analysis of the XeF~6~ dynamics is presented. The Longuet‐Higgins group for each mode of rearrangement is obtained. On the basis of the splitting scheme of rigid molecule levels and statistical weights and selection rules for the non rigid molecule levels, it appears that transverse digonal twists and turnstile mechanisms have the same spectroscopic effects as the BPR‐6 mechanisms. Hence, the previous interpretation of IR and Raman spectra is consistent with tunneling through transverse digonal twists and turnstile mechanisms as well as through BPR‐6.
