nonlinear bond(s) Explanation: "Es kommt nicht selten vor, dass interne Koordinaten im Verlauf einer Optimierung aufhören, wohldefiniert zu sein, z.B. wenn eine ursprünglich gewinkelte Bindung linear wird, ist ein über sie definierter Torsionswinkel sinnlos." (www.thch.uni-bonn.de/tc/download/grueneich.armin.dipl.ps) "The polar and nonlinear bonds give rise to a large dipole moment." (www.siue.edu/~rdixon/classes/chem451a/notes/notes.html) |
