Molecular symmetry operations provide an easily applied tool for
understanding and predicting molecular properties, including
certain reaction dynamics and quantum mechanical descriptions of
molecules. Traditionally the molecular approach has been taught
through point group and rotational symmetries (Schonflies notation
and group theory) to undergraduates and graduates in chemistry,
physics and material science and then these are applied to
understanding various molecular properties. molecular symmetry,
which leads to a greater insight into the application of symmetry
in predicting and explaining the observational spectroscopic
results and quantum mechanical applications, but also yields the
simpler idealised symmetry operations for 'simple' molecules. This
more in depth approach is needed by chemical physicists and
physical chemists for detailed spectroscopic analysis of molecular
materials (and has applications from characterising new compounds,
understanding electronic structure and reaction dynamics to
exploring the composition of interstellar gas) and quantum
mechanical applications. This text provides a through grounding in
molecular symmetry and group theory suitable for undergraduates and
more detailed applications needed by graduate students and
researchers in molecular physics, chemical physics, physical
chemistry and solid state physics.
