Provides a comprehensive discussion of group theory in the context of molecular and crystal symmetry Covers both point-group and space-group symmetries Includes tutorial solutions
Concise, self-contained introduction to group theory and its applications to chemical problems.
This comprehensive text provides readers with a thorough introduction to molecular symmetry and group theory as applied to chemical problems.
This book avoids mathematical complications and presents group theory so that it is accessible to students as well as faculty and researchers.
This second edition contains a new chapter on the projection operator method. This is used to calculate the form of the normal modes of vibration of a molecule and the normalised wave functions of hybrid orbitals or molecular orbitals.
Chapter 8 covers more advanced applications, including the detailed analysis of tensor properties and tensor operators. This book is of great value to mathematicians, and math teachers and students.
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 mathematical fundamentals of molecular symmetry and group theory are comprehensibly described in this book.
Chemists are used to the operational definition of symmetry, which crystallographers introduced long before the advent of quantum mechanics.
