Symmetry and Structure: Readable Group Theory for Chemists

Building on the foundation of the Second Edition, Symmetry and Structure: Readable Group Theory for Chemists, Third Edition turns the complex and potentially difficult subject of group theory into an accessible and readable account of this core area of chemistry. By using a diagrammatical approach and demonstrating the physical principles involved in understanding group theory, the text provides a non-mathematical, yet thorough, treatment of this broad topic. This new edition has been fully revised and updated to include a much more three-dimensional and accurate visualization of many of the key topics. The chapter on octahedral molecules is extended to cover the important topic of the ligand field theory of octahedral transition metal complexes. Problems and summaries are included at the end of each chapter, the book provides detailed answers to frequently asked questions, and numerous diagrams and tables are featured for ease of reading and to enhance student understanding. 
Symmetry and Structure: Readable Group Theory for Chemists, Third Edition is an essential textbook for all students, researchers and lecturers in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, physics and material science.

Chemistry

A unique, pictorially based introduction to group theory, emphasizing concepts and applications. The text develops molecular symmetry and molecular electronic structure without the use of complex matrix algebra, instead using chemical topics, such as bonding, as vehicles for the group theory. Essential mathematical aspects are treated in the book's five extensive appendixes, which serve as a self-contained treatment of mathematical group theory.

Symmetry and Structure

This edition reflects the enormous growth in the calculation of molecular electronic wave functions and energies since 1978, particularly the use of computer programs for carrying out these calculations from first principles. Stressing the concepts of chemical bonding, it presents the results of ab-initio calculations for the support or disproval of the models on which these concepts are founded. Along with numerous specific examples, this edition provides details of the mathematical bases of the calculations or the computer programs which carry them out. In addition, its treatment of group theory techniques has been strengthened and its discussion of transition metal chemistry has been updated.

This revised and updated edition emphasizes the physical concepts and applications of group theory rather than complex mathematics. User-friendly, it offers a simple approach to space groups, answering many frequently asked questions in detail. Features a new chapter on solid state, scores of diagrams and problems and more questions and answers. Mathematical proofs are included in the appendices.
