I am trying to simulate a chain of molecules which are planar.

Can anyone please give me an example of the molecular chain which can stay as planar with it's minimum energy state is planar. A published study on the evolution of the geometry of the molecule will be highly helpful.

  • $\begingroup$ "simulate chain of molecules" Graphite is 2-D planar not 1-D chain. I think you missed h-BN, MgB2, zirconium phosphonates, smectite clays, micas, FeO(OH), FeCl2, heavy metal dichalcogenides...Langmuir-Blodgett depositions...DOI:10.1039/C001929A, chemistry.aalto.fi/en/research/groups/inorganic_chemistry etc. $\endgroup$
