public class AtomHybridizationVSEPRDescriptor extends AbstractAtomicDescriptor implements IAtomicDescriptor
This class try to find a SIMPLE WAY the molecular geometry for following from Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion or VSEPR model and at the same time its hybridization of atoms in a molecule.
The basic premise of the model is that the electrons are paired in a molecule and that the molecule geometry is determined only by the repulsion between the pairs. The geometry adopted by a molecule is then the one in which the repulsions are minimized.
It counts the number of electron pairs in the Lewis dot diagram which
are attached to an atom. Then uses the following table.
pairs on an atom | hybridization of the atom | geometry | number for CDK.Constants |
2 | sp | linear | 1 |
3 | sp^2 | trigonal planar | 2 |
4 | sp^3 | tetrahedral | 3 |
5 | sp^3d | trigonal bipyramid | 4 |
6 | sp^3d^2 | octahedral | 5 |
7 | sp^3d^3 | pentagonal bipyramid | 6 |
8 | sp^3d^4 | square antiprim | 7 |
9 | sp^3d^5 | tricapped trigonal prism | 8 |
This table only works if the central atom is a p-block element (groups IIA through VIIIA), not a transition metal.
