Abstract:

The authors have shown in recent years that interatomic and interionic distances are sums of the radii of the adjacent atoms and/or ions. Many examples will be provided and it will be shown how the experimental bond lengths agree with the radii sums. The examples include inorganic compounds like alkali halides, metal hydrides, graphene, etc., organic like aliphatic and aromatic compounds and biochemical like nucleic acids, amino acids, caffeine-related compounds and vitamins.
