A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Concise undergraduate course text with a pictorial approach, deals with basics of group theory and its application to analysis of vibrational spectra, and a molecular orbital description of bonding. Developed from a course that the author has taught for many years, it links the topics to ligand field theory and properties of transition metal complexes and other themes within inorganic chemistry. The author stresses the importance of problem solving, and has therefore interspersed self-assessment questions to reinforce material at key stages in the text. There are problem exercises at the end of most chapters, with solutions and tutorial hints avoiding heavy mathematics.

Contents: Part 1 Symmetry and groups: Symmetry; Groups and representations. Part 2 Application of group theory to vibrational spectroscopy: Reducible representations; Techniques of vibrational spectroscopy; The vibrational spectrum of Xe(O)F4. Part 3 Application of group theory to structure and bonding: Fundamentals of molecular orbital theory; H2O: Linear or angular? NH3: Planar or pyramidal? Octahedral complexes; Ferrocene; Appendices and index.

Revue de presse :

An excellent introduction to group theory with many illustrations to aid understanding. Most appropriate as a course resource for undergraduates. Recommended for Lower-division graduates through graduate students. --Choice
