Rabl arrangement

Rabl arrangement is a pattern for placing atoms in a molecule around a central atom, mainly used in crystallography. It helps visualize the three-dimensional shape by positioning atoms as if they are evenly distributed like points on a sphere around the center. This allows scientists to better understand the symmetry and spatial arrangement of complex molecules, especially in coordination compounds and crystal structures. Essentially, the Rabl arrangement provides a systematic way to represent and analyze how atoms are oriented in three-dimensional space relative to a central atom.
