libmsym is a C library dealing with point group symmetry in molecules. It can determine, symmetrize and generate molecules of any point group. It can also generate symmetry adapted linear combinations of atomic orbitals for a subset of all point groups and orbital angular momentum (l), and project orbitals into the irreducible representation with the larges component.

# molecules

Determine, symmetrize and generate molecules of any point group as well determine/select subgroups.
6+
Get symmetrically equivalent elements and symmetrize translation of any any element in a molecule.

This was initially developed as part of a masters, and is now a hobby project.
15-
There is no stable release yet, although the master branch will be kept as stable as possible.
16-
API is still subject to change (especially changes related to basis functions and irreducible representations).
17-
18-
There are several additions/changes related to LCAO/SALC generation, orbital symmetrization, and vibrational symmetry under development.

#wave functions
12+
Generate SALCs of real spherical harmonics for non icosahedral point groups with real characters (Ci, Cs, Cnv, Dn, Dnh, Dnd, Td, O and Oh) for any angular momentum, as well as symmetrize orbitals, determine partner functions etc.
