Q: Can anyone help me with this question on vibrational modes of free base porphyrin (C20H14N4)?

Gillian 4 a. The structure of free-base porphyrin $(\ce{H2P}$, chemical formula: $\ce{C20H14N4})$ is shown below. Given that this molecule belongs to the $D_\mathrm{2h}$ point group (character table given above) identify the symmetries (irreps) for all the vibrational modes of this planar polyatomic m...
