A classic application of group theory is the prediction of the number of C-O vibrations in substituted metal carbonyl complexes.
Around this time, intense theoretical group theory activity also predicted that C 60 should have only four IR-active vibrational bands, on account of its icosahedral symmetry.
As a result of its unsolvability, several other problems in combinatorial group theory have been shown to be unsolvable as well.
Combinatorial and geometric group theory main Groups can be described in different ways.
Combinatorial group theory studies groups from the perspective of generators and relations.
Compare Lagrange's theorem (group theory) and its proof.
