Table 3. Default ‘bond radii’ of the atoms from the ‘extended organic set’.

These are consensus values taken from Cordero et al. (2008), Pyykkö & Atsumi (2009a ,b ) and from the website http://periodictable.com/Properties/A/CovalentRadius.v.log.html. The values from these sources were adjusted to make sure that the molecular geometries of all validated structures from the COD could be reproduced.

Bonds C N O S P B Se H
Covalent radius (Å) 0.76 0.70 0.68 1.02 1.05 0.83 1.22 0.32
