The success of the first edition of this book has encouraged us to
revise and update it. In the second edition we have attempted to
further clarify por tions of the text in reference to point
symmetry, keeping certain sections and removing others. The
ever-expanding interest in solids necessitates some discussion on
space symmetry. In this edition we have expanded the discus sion on
point symmetry to include space symmetry. The selection rules in
clude space group selection rules (for k = 0). Numerous examples
are pro vided to acquaint the reader with the procedure necessary
to accomplish this. Recent examples from the literature are given
to illustrate the use of group theory in the interpretation of
molecular spectra and in the determination of molecular structure.
The text is intended for scientists and students with only a
limited theoretical background in spectroscopy. For this reason we
have presented detailed procedures for carrying out the selection
rules and normal coor dinate treatment of molecules. We have chosen
to exclude discussion on symmetry aspects of molecular orbital
theory and ligand field theory. It has been our approach to
highlight vibrational data only, primarily to keep the size and
cost of the book to a reasonable limit."
