transition-metals – Hybridization diagrams for transition metal complexes
This package provides tools for drawing hybridization diagrams for transition-metal complexes. From a compact complex specification, it automatically derives the d-electron count, spin state, magnetic behaviour, effective atomic number, and the orbitals involved in hybridization.
