Synopsis

A thorough introduction to molecular symmetry and group theory as applied to chemical problems. Readers will discover by example the power of symmetry arguments in understanding otherwise intimidating theoretical problems in chemistry. This book demonstrates the centrality of symmetry and group theory to a complete understanding of the theory of structure and bonding.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

A Thorough But Understandable Introduction To Molecular Symmetry And Group Theory As Applied To Chemical Problems! In a friendly, easy-to-understand style, this new book invites the reader to discover by example the power of symmetry arguments for understanding theoretical problems in chemistry. The author shows the evolution of ideas and demonstrates the centrality of symmetry and group theory to a complete understanding of the theory of structure and bonding. Plus, the book offers explicit demonstrations of the most effective techniques for applying group theory to chemical problems, including the tabular method of reducing representations and the use of group-subgroup relationships for dealing with infinite-order groups.
