(*Studying Coordination Chemistry, "Crystal Field Theory" at school*) Apparently, different sources spell this differently. [Wikipedia][2], calls it the "Barycenter" (as does my school textbook) > [![enter image description here][1]][1] Another book I have at hand (*Concise Inorganic Chemistry* Lee, J.D), prominently uses the term "Bari centre". ----------- The center/centre distinction aside, what I've been able to glean from my books (and the internet), is that this term is spelled in *four* different ways (Wah! Such gross inconsistency in literature!): - Barycenter - Bary center - Baricenter - Bari center But which one's correct (or at least, a more preferred term in Chemistry-literature)?
