About The Book Group Theory And Its Applications In Chemistry

Book Summary:

 

This book, divided into two parts, now in its second edition, presents the basic principles of group theory and their applications in chemical theories. While retaining the thorough coverage of the previous edition, the book in Part I, discusses the symmetry elements, point groups and construction of character tables for different point groups. In Part II, it describes the concept of hybridization to explain the shapes of molecules and analyzes the character tables to predict infrared and Raman active vibrational modes of molecules. It also brings into fore the molecular orbital theory and the techniques of group theory to interpret bonding in transition metal complexes and their electronic spectra. Finally, the book describes the crystal symmetry in detail as well as the WoodwardHoffmann rules to determine the pathways of electrocyclic and cycloaddition reactions.

NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION

New sections on Direct Product, Groupsub-group Relationships, Effect of Descent in Octahedral Symmetry on Degeneracy, JahnTeller Distortion, Groupsub-group Relationships and Electronic Spectra of Complexes and Influence of Coordination on the Infrared Spectra of Oxoanionic Ligands, Space Groups
Revised sections on Projection Operator, SALC Molecular Orbitals of Benzene and -Molecular Orbitals of 1, 3-Butadiene
