Abstract
Quadratic elongation and the variance of bond angles are linearly correlated for distorted octahedral and tetrachedral coordination complexes, both of which show variations in bond length and bond angle. The quadratic elongation is dimensionless, giving a quantitative measure of polyhedral distortion which is independent of the effective size of the polyhedron.
