In chemistry it is a powerful concept that underlies many apparently disparate phenomena. Symmetry allows us to accurately describe the types of bonding that can occur between atoms or groups of atoms in molecules. It also governs the transitions that may occur between energy levels in molecular systems, leading to a predictive understanding of the absorption properties of molecules and hence their spectra. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMolecular Symmetry\u003c\/i\u003e lays out the formal language used in the area, with illustrative examples of particular molecules throughout. It then applies the ideas of symmetry and group theory to describe molecular structure, bonding in molecules and to consider the implications in spectroscopy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics covered include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry elements\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSymmetry operations and products of operations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePoint groups used with molecules\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePoint group representations, matrices and basis sets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReducible and irreducible representations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApplications in vibrational spectroscopy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMolecular orbital theory of chemical bonding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMolecular Symmetry\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to introduce the subject by combining symmetry with spectroscopy and bonding in a clear and accessible manner.
