Informal, effective undergraduate-level text introduces vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, presenting applications of group theory to the interpretation of UV, visible, and infrared spectra without assuming a high level of background knowledge. 200 problems with solutions. Numerous illustrations. "A uniform and consistent treatment of the subject matter." — Journal of Chemical Education.
The text can benefit students of molecular spectroscopy, academicians, and investigators of molecular chemistry or quantum mechanics.

Molecular Symmetry is a must-have introduction to this fundamental topic for students of chemistry, and will also find a place on the bookshelves of postgraduates and researchers looking for a broad and modern introduction to the subject.
Many courses dealing with the material in this text are called "Applications of Group Theory.
The mathematical fundamentals of molecular symmetry and group theory are comprehensibly described in this book.
Our genes have programmed us to overlook minor distortions from ideal symmetry. Avnir and his students have provided us with very useful ... The Avnir algorithms are commonly referred to as “Continuous Symmetry Measures” (CSMs) [11–17].
This second edition contains a new chapter on the projection operator method. This is used to calculate the form of the normal modes of vibration of a molecule and the normalised wave functions of hybrid orbitals or molecular orbitals.
