The determination of molecular geometry is of vital importance to our understanding of
chemical structure and bonding. The majority of experimental data have come from X-ray …

Crystallography is the most powerful method available for studying molecular structures. It
has become increasingly important in recent years with the intro-duction of automatic …

The diffraction of X-rays has been little used for determining the structure of molecules in
either the gaseous or the liquid state. For a gas electron diffraction is much more successful …

In our studies of the dependence of interatomic distances on resonance1 we have assumed
that the carbon-carbon single bond is characterized by thedistance 1.54 Á.(as in diamond) …

Sir: The purposes of the present article are as follows.(1) To remind readers of this journal,
particularly structural inorganic chemists, of the anomalously short distances found by X-ray …

Recent independent determinations by X-ray crystallography of the C—C bond lengths in
naphthalene and anthracene are shown to agree well. The experimental values agree to …

Bond-valence parameters which relate bond valences and bond lengths have been derived
for a large number of bonds. It is shown that there is a strong linear correlation between the …

Although experimental molecular structure is one of the oldest and most frequently applied
diagnostic tools in studies of the nature of chemical bonds, it is concluded that its application …

1. Introduction: Bond Properties.-The combination of atoms with one another to form
molecules is explained in chemistry by the concept of valence, and represented by structural …
