LaTeX forum ⇒ Math & Science ⇒ chemfig: how to rappresent rocking and scissoring vibration

[Molibdeno]

Infrared spectroscopy is based on the principle that radiation with a wavelength between 25000 nm and 40000 nm is absorbed by the molecule altering its vibrational movements. There are various ways to alter the molecule vibrations : for example, for water we can have a bond lenght change

Instead rocking and scissoring cause a variation of the bond angle



I add the blue arrow with Inkscape. Is it possible do the same thing with LaTeX? If so, could you tell me how?

Thank you in advance
