Capped octahedral molecular geometry
ID: capped-octahedral-molecular-geometry
Capped octahedral molecular geometry refers to a specific arrangement of atoms in a molecule where an octahedral structure is complemented by additional atoms or groups that occupy positions above or below the octahedron. In an octahedral geometry, the central atom is surrounded by six other atoms at the corners of a regular octahedron. In capped octahedral geometry, there are typically two additional atoms or groups that "cap" the top and bottom faces of the octahedron.
