FWAs
FWAs, or Full-Width Atomics, are a type of atomic structure found in certain chemical compounds. They are characterized by the presence of a central atom that is surrounded by a full set of ligands, typically eight, arranged in a square antiprismatic or octahedral geometry. This arrangement allows for the central atom to form strong covalent bonds with the surrounding ligands, resulting in a highly stable and symmetrical structure.
FWAs are commonly found in transition metal complexes, where the central atom is a metal such as
The study of FWAs has been an active area of research in inorganic chemistry, with scientists seeking
