The conformational analysis of organoelemental and organometallic molecules

The results obtained using the mechanical model of a molecule to calculate the conformation and conformational transformations of the molecules of organoelemental and organometallic compounds have been reviewed. The conformational characteristics of the molecules of hydrocarbons and their organoelemental analogues have been compared. The present state and future prospects of the use of the mechanical model in calculations for the molecules of π-complexes and metal clusters have been described.
