Ebook Woodhead Publishing in Materials: Group Theory for Chemists : Fundamental Theory and Applications in TXT, EPUB, MOBI
9780857092403 English 0857092405 The basics of group theory and its applications to themes such as the analysis of vibrational spectra and molecular orbital theory are essential knowledge for the undergraduate student of inorganic chemistry. The second edition of Group Theory for Chemists uses diagrams and problem-solving to help students test and improve their understanding, including a new section on the application of group theory to electronic spectroscopy. Part one covers the essentials of symmetry and group theory, including symmetry, point groups and representations. Part two deals with the application of group theory to vibrational spectroscopy, with chapters covering topics such as reducible representations and techniques of vibrational spectroscopy. In part three, group theory as applied to structure and bonding is considered, with chapters on the fundamentals of molecular orbital theory, octahedral complexes and ferrocene among other topics. Additionally in the second edition, part four focuses on the application of group theory to electronic spectroscopy, covering symmetry and selection rules, terms and configurations and d-d spectra. Drawing on the author s extensive experience teaching group theory to undergraduates, Group Theory for Chemists provides a focused and comprehensive study of group theory and its applications which is invaluable to the student of chemistry as well as those in related fields seeking an introduction to the topic. Provides a focused and comprehensive study of group theory and its applications, an invaluable resource to students of chemistry as well as those in related fields seeking an introduction to the topicPresents diagrams and problem-solving exercises to help students improve their understanding, including a new section on the application of group theory to electronic spectroscopyReviews the essentials of symmetry and group theory, including symmetry, point groups and representations and the application of group theory to vibrational spectroscopy, This undergraduate text deals with basics of group theory and its application to the analysis of vibrational spectra, and a molecular orbital description of bonding. It also links the topics to ligand field theory, properties of transition metal complexes and other themes within inorganic chemistry. Problem solving is stressed because the whole purpose of studying this subject is to apply it to chemical problems, and the author has therefore interspersed self-assessment questions at key stages in the text. Further problem exercises for self-assessment have been set at the end of most chapters, with solutions and tutorial hints. Concise, mathematically friendly and with a pictorial approach, the book is based on the author's long experience of teaching a most successful lecture course., he basics of group theory and its applications to themes such as the analysis of vibrational spectra and molecular orbital theory are essential knowledge for the undergraduate student of inorganic chemistry.
