_geom_bond.distance

Name:
_geom_bond.distance

Aliases:

_geom_bond_distance
_geom_bond.dist

Definition:

   
    The intramolecular bond distance defined by the listed sites.

Type: Real

Units: angstroms


The permitted range is 0.0 → infinity

Evaluation method:

    With b as geom_bond

    xc = List()

    For [label,symop] in  [[b.atom_site_label_1,b.site_symmetry_1],
                           [b.atom_site_label_2,b.site_symmetry_2]]   {

        xf   =   SymEquiv(symop, _atom_site[label].fract_xyz)

        xc ++=  _atom_sites_Cartn_transform.matrix * xf
     }
     _geom_bond.distance =  Norm ( xc[0] - xc[1] )
