Hô, Minhhuy; Alday Toledo, León Francisco; Bernal-Jaquez, Roberto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
In this article, we show a "very" simple algorithm for the evaluation of the character tables applicable to all finite point groups. The method uses linear combinations of the symmetry operators associated with the point group's classes as the basis set. Eigenvectors of the resulting matrix of such representations are related to the…

Sims, Paul A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2012
A brief history of the development of the empirical equation that is used by prominent, Internet-based programs to estimate (or calculate) the extinction coefficients of proteins is presented. In addition, an overview of a series of related assignments designed to help students understand the origin of the empirical equation is provided. The…
