  • Revised and updated for the modern, less mathematically minded, chemistry student
  • Focuses on the applications and concepts of symmetry and structure and group theory rather than the complex maths which surround the subject
  • The mathematical appendix is written at an accessible level and character tables have been give a pictorial interpretation in order to offer a deeper insight into the nature of irreducible representations
  • Includes problems and summaries at the end of each chapter
  • Provides detailed answers to frequently asked questions
  • Features numerous diagrams and tables for ease of reading and to enhance student understanding
  • All the applications of group theory covered are applied to the simple water molecule initially for greater student understanding
  • Website showing movies of interacting orbital of vibrational stretches or of symmetry operations in effect upon orbital/vectors /molecules for students and lecturers
