Pentagonal planar molecular geometry

Pentagonal planar molecular geometry refers to a specific arrangement of atoms in a molecule where five atoms or groups are arranged around a central atom in a planar configuration. In this geometry, the bond angles between the adjacent atoms are approximately 108 degrees, which allows for a symmetrical distribution around the central atom. This molecular geometry is often associated with transition metal complexes, particularly those with a coordination number of 5, where a central metal atom can coordinate to five ligands.
