Concise undergraduate course text with a pictorial approach, deals with basics of group theory and its application to analysis of vibrational spectra, and a molecular orbital description of bonding. Developed from a course that the author has taught for many years, it links the topics to ligand field theory and properties of transition metal complexes and other themes within inorganic chemistry.

More DescriptionConcise undergraduate course text with a pictorial approach, deals with basics of group theory and its application to analysis of vibrational spectra, and a molecular orbital description of bonding. Developed from a course that the author has taught for many years, it links the topics to ligand field theory and properties of transition metal complexes and other themes within inorganic chemistry. The author stresses the importance of problem solving, and has therefore interspersed self-assessment questions to reinforce material at key stages in the text. There are problem exercises at the end of most chapters, with solutions and tutorial hints avoiding heavy mathematics.
