Homometric structures

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In chemistry, structures which have the same squared Fourier transform magnitude but which are neither congruent nor enantiomorphic are defined as homometric structures.^[1]

Example of two homometric structures (top) formed by the convolution between two non-centrosymmetric structures (bottom) with different orientations.
