For compounds with the formula MX 6, the chief alternative to octahedral geometry is a trigonal prismatic geometry, which has symmetry D 3h. In this geometry, the six ligands are also equivalent. There are also distorted trigonal prisms, with C 3v symmetry; a prominent example is W(CH 3) 6.

The coordination geometry of an atom is the geometrical pattern defined by the atoms around the central atom. The term is commonly applied in the field of inorganic chemistry, where diverse structures are observed. The coordination geometry depends on the number, not the type, of ligands bonded to the metal centre as well as their locations.
The metal atoms define the vertices of an octahedron. The overall point group symmetry is O h. Each face of the octahedron is capped with a chalcohalide and eight such atoms are at the corners of a cube. For this reason this geometry is called a face capped octahedral cluster. Examples of this type of clusters are the Re 6 S 8 Cl 6 4− anion.
An example of a molecular species with square prismatic geometry (a slightly flattened cube) is octafluoroprotactinate(V), [PaF 8] 3–, as found in its sodium salt, Na 3 PaF 8. [6] While local cubic 8-coordination is common in ionic lattices (e.g., Ca 2+ in CaF 2 ), and some 8-coordinate actinide complexes are approximately cubic, there are no ...
A bitruncated cube is a truncated octahedron. A bitruncated cubic honeycomb - Cubic cells become orange truncated octahedra, and vertices are replaced by blue truncated octahedra. In geometry, a bitruncation is an operation on regular polytopes. The original edges are lost completely and the original faces remain as smaller copies of themselves.
This shape has C 2v symmetry and is one of the three common shapes for heptacoordinate transition metal complexes, along with the pentagonal bipyramid and the capped octahedron. [1] [2] Examples of the capped trigonal prismatic molecular geometry are the heptafluorotantalate (TaF 2− 7) and the heptafluoroniobate (NbF 2− 7) ions. [3] [4]
The behavior of MOPAC can be modified by specifying keywords on the first line of the input file, and translation vectors can be added to the geometry to specify a polymer, surface, or crystal. MOPAC is compatible with other software to provide graphical user interfaces (GUIs), visualization of outputs, and processing of inputs.
