Annotation -
The first part of the course is devoted to basic concepts of molecular symmetry and necessary mathematical basis of molecular symmetry - group theory. The second part deals with applications of group theory in chemical bonding, the spectra (vibrational, rotational and electronic) and chemical reactions.

Aim of the course -

Students will be familiar with terms of molecular symmetry (groups and subgroups, order groups, direct product of groups, group representations, reducible and irreducible representation (IR)). Students will be able to determine the elements of symmetry of molecules, to use tables of irreducible representations of point groups and to classify quantum states by IR.
