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.
