Understanding the connection between symmetry and electronic and spectroscopic properties of molecules is the main objective of this course. A systematic introduction of point-group symmetries and group theory is provided. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): CHEM 332.Note: CHEM 344 (formerly CHEM 243) recommended. Students in programs other than Chemistry who have credit for CHEM 231 or its equivalent may seek permission from the department.
