This Primer presents an introduction to molecular symmetry and point groups with an emphasis on their applications. The author has adopted a non-mathematical approach as far as possible and the text will supplement those that are too advanced or gloss over important information. Chapter topics include symmetry elements, operations and point groups; matrices, multiplications tables and representations; the reduction formula; molecular vibrations; vibrational spectroscopy and degenerate vibrations; symmetry aspects of chemical bonding and matrices in higher order point groups

Review
"This primer for chemistry undergraduates provides an introductory course in symmetry and the chemical applications of group theory, an essential skill for tackling many bonding and spectroscopy problems. Focus is on molecular vibrations and chemical bonding. Coverage includes symmetry elements, matrices, representations, higher order point groups, molecular vibrations, vibrational spectroscopy, and symmetry aspects of chemical bonding."--SciTech Book News

Inside This Book

First Sentence:
From their earliest years at school, children learn to describe 'symmetrical' shapes in terms of two distinct symmetry elements-a plane, or 'line' of symmetry, and an axis of symmetry-and these two symmetry elements remain the most easily identifiable ones exhibited by the majority of 'symmetrical' molecular species. Read the first page Key Phrases - Statistically Improbable Phrases (SIPs): (learn more)
unshifted atom, various symmetry operations, order point groups, point group symbol, degenerate representations, eclipsed form, totally symmetric representation, symmetry elements, molecular orbital diagram, character table, stretching modes, reduction formula, atom displacements, reducible representation New!
