A transformation of the type \( \hat{R}_{12} \) looks like $$ \hat{R}_{12} = \left( \begin{array}{ccccccccc} c&s &0 &0 &0 & \dots &0 & 0 & 0\\ -s&c &0 &0 &0 & \dots &0 & 0 & 0\\ 0&0 &1 &0 &0 & \dots &0 & 0 & 0\\ \dots&\dots &\dots &\dots &\dots &\dots \\ 0&0 &0 & 0 & 0 & \dots &1 &0 &0 \\ 0&0 &0 & 0 & 0 & \dots &0 &1 &0 \\ 0&0 &0 & 0 & 0 & \dots &0 &0 & 1 \end{array} \right) $$
