      The authors introduce the method of symmetry adapted wavepackets to solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a highly symmetry potential energy surface. Various techniques to generate symmetry adapted spherical harmonics for the point groups of highest symmetry (octahedral, icosahedral) are discussed. Two methods to overcome numerical instabilities occuring for large azimuthal quantum numbers are suggested.
