The bond lengths and angles of some characteristic strained cyclic and polycyclic alkanes and alkenes were calculated by the iterative maximum overlap approximation (IMOA) procedure. The agreement with experimental bond lengths and angles is satisfactory indicating that IMOA method might be useful for a semiquantitative prediction of the geometry of hydrocarbons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
