The focus of the course is the development of quantitative symmetry concepts and the use of group theoretical techniques to generate semi-quantitative MO diagrams, to understand symmetry control of reactions and to derive selection rules for spectroscopic transitions. The major physical methods for characterization of ground and excited states of molecules will be discussed. Familiarity with basic quantum chemistry is assumed.
