Winner of a 2005 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book Award Molecular
symmetry is an easily applied tool for understanding and predicting
many of the properties of molecules. Traditionally, students are
taught this subject using point groups derived from the equilibrium
geometry of the molecule. Fundamentals of Molecular Symmetry shows
how to set up symmetry groups for molecules using the more general
idea of energy invariance. It is no more difficult than using
molecular geometry and one obtains molecular symmetry groups. The
book provides an introductory description of molecular spectroscopy
and quantum mechanics as the foundation for understanding how
molecular symmetry is defined and used. The approach taken gives a
balanced account of using both point groups and molecular symmetry
groups. Usually the point group is only useful for isolated,
nonrotating molecules, executing small amplitude vibrations, with
no tunneling, in isolated electronic states. However, for the
chemical physicist or physical chemist who wishes to go beyond
these limitations, the molecular symmetry group is almost always
required.
