Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Aim:
Learn how to identify and understand the symmetry of molecules, and how symmetry can be used to deduce physical and chemical properties of molecules. Applications include molecular orbital theory, electronic structure, vibrational and UV/Vis spectroscopy, and reactivity.

Content:
1. Symmetry elements and symmetry operations
- Operations and elements
- Product of operations
2. Group theory
- Groups, subgroups and classes
- Multiplication tables
3. Symmetry point groups
- Classification, identify the point group of a molecule
4. Representations of groups
- Mathematical background: matrices
- Reducible and irreducible representations
- Non-degenerate and degenerate representations
- The Great Orthogonality theorem and its consequences
- Character tables, nomenclature
5. Applications in Chemistry
- Symmetry in the Schrödinger equation
- Symmetry in the Molecular Orbital theory
- Symmetry in spectroscopy
- Other applications: chemical reactions, ligand field theory, etc

Methods:
Online lectures and remote class exercises.
The classes will be organized primarily through Moodle.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The final grade will be composed of one written exam (40%), three exercise protocols (15% each), and class participation (15%).
