Making use of an intermediate set method, explicit expressions of the matrix elements are obtained in a pure algebraic way, fixing the $γ$-rotational structure of collective quadrupole models.submitted to Journal of Physics ANuclear TheoryQuadrupole collective variables in the natural Cartan-Weyl basistext
