Moments of inertia in cluster and coordination compounds

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Complexes, Clusters and Crystal Chemistry

Part of the book series: Structure and Bonding ((STRUCTURE,volume 79))

Abstract

The calculated moments of inertia of molecules may be used to define the shapes of coordination compounds and cluster molecules. This shape analysis may be related either to electronic factors responsible for distorting the geometry of the molecule or used to define the location of the molecule on the rearrangement coordinate linking alternative polytopal forms.
