_geom_angle.value
Name:_geom_angle.value
Alias:
_geom_angle
Definition:
The value of the angle defined by the listed sites.
The vertex atom is identified by _geom_angle.atom_site_label_2
and accompanying symmetry operation code.
Type: Real
Units: degrees
The permitted range is 0.0 → 180.0
Evaluation method:
With a as geom_angle
xc = List()
bundle = [[a.site_symmetry_1,a.atom_site_label_1],
[a.site_symmetry_2,a.atom_site_label_2],
[a.site_symmetry_3.a.atom_site_label_3]]
for symop,label in bundle {
xf = SymEquiv(symop, _atom_site[label].fract_xyz)
xc ++= _atom_sites_Cartn_transform.matrix * xf
}
v1,v2 = xc[0]-xc[1], xc[2]-xc[1]
_geom_angle.value = Acosd ( v1 * v2 / ( Norm (v1) * Norm (v2) ) )
