Molecules Containing One or Two Carbon Atoms

Volume II/28 is a supplemented and revised edition of the preceding volumes II/7, II/15, II/21, II/23 and II/25, containing up to date information on the geometric parameters (internuclear distances, bond angles, dihedral angles of internal rotation etc.) of free inorganic and organic polyatomic molecules. All experimental methods for the determination of quantitative structural data of free molecules have been considered: microwave, infrared, Raman, electronic and photoelectron spectroscopy as well as electron diffraction. The data obtained by these methods have been critically evaluated and compiled. They are presented separately for each molecule, together with a computer-drawn schematic figure of the structure and the original literature. The printed hardcover book is accompanied by an electronic version on CD-ROM.
