Assignment Fall 2015-05-2

This document contains homework assignments for a symmetry and group theory course. Students are asked to 1) formulate ligand group orbitals and metal-ligand molecular orbitals for octahedral and tetrahedral complexes, 2) draw qualitative molecular orbital diagrams for NH3, CO, ML4, and ML6 complexes, reducing symmetry where needed, and 3) analyze the normal modes of vibration of NH3, CH4, and CO2 by taking bond distances as basis vectors. The homework is due on November 19, 2015.
