centrosymmetric

Examples of centrosymmetric in the following topics:

• Color

  • In centrosymmetric complexes, d-d transitions are forbidden by the Laporte rule.
  • The Laporte rule states that, if a molecule is centrosymmetric, transitions within a given set of p or d orbitals are forbidden.

• Carbon Oxides and Carbonates

  • The compound is centrosymmetric and so has no net dipole.
  • The molecule has no net dipole moment because it's centrosymmetric.

• Physical Properties and Atomic Size

  • In centrosymmetric complexes, such as octahedral complexes, d-d transitions are forbidden.
