Description
Molecular Symmetry by David Willock provides a formal method for describing the geometry of objects through symmetry and group theory. This powerful approach underlies many phenomena in chemistry, allowing accurate descriptions of bonding between atoms or groups of atoms in molecules.
The book applies these ideas to molecular structure, bonding, and spectroscopy, covering topics such as symmetry elements, point groups, and applications in vibrational spectroscopy. With a clear and accessible approach, Molecular Symmetry is designed to introduce the subject by combining symmetry with spectroscopy.
Each chapter includes summaries of learning points, self-test questions, and suggestions for further reading, along with appendices featuring templates for paper models to help students understand symmetry groups. This book is an ideal introduction to molecular symmetry for students of chemistry and postgraduates seeking a broad and modern understanding of the subject.
