  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Accurate Structure Determination of Free Molecules

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Chemistry ((LNC,volume 105))

Abstract

The determination of thermal-average and equilibrium molecular structures by conventional electron diffraction is reviewed. The history and theoretical basis of the method as well as the electron diffraction experiment are briefly described. The significance of different structure types is explained. A particular emphasis is put on the determination of semiexperimental equilibrium structure from electron diffraction data taking into account vibrational corrections calculated with quantum-chemical force fields.
