Vincent, Alan

Molecular symmetry and group theory : A programmed introduction to chemical applications - 2nd ed. - West Sussex: John Wiley & Sons Ltd, c2001 - x, 191p. : ill. ; 22cm.

Includes bibliographic references and subject index.

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.

The features of this book include:
- A concise, gentle introduction to symmetry and group theory
- Takes a programmed learning approach
- New material on projection operators, and the calcultaion of normal modes of vibration and normalised wave functions of orbitals
- This book is suitable for all students of chemistry taking a first course in symmetry and group theory.
