As the structure and behavior of molecules and crystals depend on their different symmetries, group theory becomes an essential tool in many important areas of chemistry. It is a quite powerful theoretical tool to predict many basic as well as some characteristic properties of molecules. Whereas quantum mechanics provide solutions of some chemical problems on the basis of complicated mathematics,... Read more

Rakshit Ameta, Suresh C. Ameta

"A comprehensive view of the subject starting from basics to applications. All fundamental aspects are fulfilled to facilitate the understanding of molecular symmetry with the help of simplified expressions and well-labelled diagrams and sketches. This book will be popular among inorganic, organic and physical chemists to their understanding of basic principles involved in the molecular symmetry. It is said that group theory/molecular symmetry is a bunch of complicated mathematical expressions, but the authors of this book have taken care to simplify them for learners/students and teachers also."
