Bent bonds in cycloalkanes
Leo Klasinc, Zvonimir B. Maksi, Milan Randi · Journal of the Chemical Society A Inorganic Physical Theoretical · 1966
The first three cycloalkanes have been studied by the method of maximum overlap using orbitals suggested by Clementi. The angles describing the bent bonds are compared with the results obtained from similar calculations based on Slater orbitals. Clementi orbitals give results which are in better agreement with the experimental data.
