Cartesian Coordinates of Molecular Models

Abstract
A procedure has been developed for calculating the Cartesian coordinates of atoms in a molecule in terms of a minimal set of geometric parameters. The superiority of this method arises from the use of symmetry operations to simplify the calculation. An additional advantage occurs through the definition of several types of standard connections which facilitate locating the atoms in the coordinate framework. Three illustrative examples are included. A listing of the program is available from the author upon request.
