CHEM 7030 - Introduction to Spectroscopy II

This course focuses on the symmetry and spectroscopy of polyatomic molecules, covering electronic structure and spectroscopy. The student learns how to use point group theory as a guide to understanding electronic wavefunctions, vibrational motions, and selection rules. A good background in quantum mechanics is required; CHEM 7020: Introduction to Spectroscopy I is helpful but not required.
