The complex build algorithm to set up starting structures of lanthanoid complexes with stereochemical control for molecular modeling

Abstract When handling metallic centers of higher coordination numbers, one is commonly deluded with the presumption that any assembled metal complex geometry (including a crystallographic one) is good enough as a starting structure for computational chemistry calculations; all oblivious to the fact...
