Pentagonal pyramidal molecular geometry

Pentagonal pyramidal molecular geometry

In chemistry, pentagonal pyramidal molecular geometry describes the shape of compounds where in six atoms or groups of atoms or ligands are arranged around a central atom, at the vertices of a pentagonal pyramid. It is one of the few molecular geometries with uneven bond angles.

Examples XeOF−5 IOF2−5
