Resumen: This book is an outgrowth of a one-semester course which has been taught for several years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to seniors and graduate students in chemistry. The treatment of the subject matter is unpretentious in that I have not hesitated to be mathematically unsophisticated, occasionally unrigorous, or somewhat prolix... TOC Part 1: Principles 1. Introduction 2. Basic Definitions and Theorems of Groups 3. Molecular Symmetry and Symmetry Groups 4. Representations of Groups 5. Group Theory and Quantum Mechanics Part 2: Applications 6. Construction of Hybrid Orbitals 7. Symmetry Aspects of MO Theory 8. Ligand Field Theory 9. Molecular Vibrations Part 3: Appendices I. Some principles of determinants; the receiprocal of a matrix II. A. Character tables fir chemically important symmetrey groups B. Correlation table for the group O_h III. Character tables for some double groups IV. A caveat concerning the resonance integral
