Abstract
In this paper, dedicated to Franco Iachello on occasion of his 50th birthday, an overview of dynamical symmetries in molecular spectroscopy and its applications will be given. Since the original formulation of the algebraic model for simple moleculest1–4, Iachello and co-workers started to improve and generalize this model to reproduce spectroscopical and dynamical properties of more and more complex systems. The present status of art is such that algebraic techniques can provide a non trivial contribution to usual approaches in this well consolidated (but still open) field of physics. As it will be pointed out in a subsequent section of this paper, simplified one-dimensional dynamical symmetries can even attack and solve problems beyond the possibilities of traditional models.
