Capped square antiprismatic molecular geometry

In chemistry, the capped square antiprismatic molecular geometry describes the shape of compounds where nine atoms, groups of atoms, or ligands are arranged around a central atom, defining the vertices of a gyroelongated square pyramid. The symmetry group of the resulting object is C4v.

Bicapped square antiprismatic molecular geometry
Square antiprisms can be capped on both square faces, giving bicapped square antiprismatic molecular geometry. The bicapped square antiprismatic atoms surrounding a central atom define the vertices of a gyroelongated square bipyramid. The symmetry group of this object is D4d. Examples: • B10H12, defined by the B10 framework • [AsRh10(CO)22]3− and [SRh10(CO)22]2−, defined by the Rh10 framework, which encapsulates the main group atoms As and S • [TlSn8]3−, a zintl ion ==References==
