  • subroutine compare_geometries

This subroutine is quite primitive and limited in capability. Because of this, there are cases where it fails. Some are:

  1. If the molecule distorts, all that will be reported is same=F and translation=F. Currently, this is taken to mean the molecule has been rotated, which would be false.
  2. For a diatomic molecule with a centre of symmetry, a rotation about the symmetry axis will result in same=F and translated=T (because the sites are translated by equal distances). This is false.
