Aims
Understanding symmetry and in particular molecular symmetry.
Comprehension of modern crystallographic analysis methods and the results they allow to achieve.
2nd part - Molecular spectroscopy :
Acquisition of general principles of molecular spectroscopy.
Mastering the bases of the most current of spectroscopies.
Main themes
The systematic study of the symmetry of finite and infinite objects. Molecular symmetry and representation. Point groups and space groups. Application to crystal state ; notions of systems and lattices. Introduction to X-ray diffraction by crystals and determination of crystal and molecular structures.
