Hi does anyone out there know of a good online resource for practicing point group determination?

Cheers!

No, I have never seen an online practice program or whatnot for point groups. If you are confused about them, Huheey's Inorganic Chemistry is good at introducing them. Once you have digested that and if you are interested in spectral phenomenon try a more advanced discussion in Miessler & Tarr's Inorganic Chemistry. Both are pretty common current inorganic texts that you should be able to find in a library or borrow from your lecturer.

there is some good stuff on this site, you need the chime plug-in though:
