The article is a stub. I would like to add in the future ammonia and its "umbrella" motion and methyl rotation in ethane as examples of floppy motions. Also a reference to, plus article on, Wilson's FG method would be nice. --P.wormer 13:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question to Kkmurray

[edit]

I see that you rated over 200 spectroscopy related articles in one day. My question is: did you actually read those articles? If not, how did you establish quality and importance? Same question if you did read them.--P.wormer 16:29, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]

As far as I can understand, this article is about normal chemical species (ions, molecules) that do not exists as other conformers or isomers. This is the default case for chemical compounds. The case is so default that we dont talk about them. Now maybe I am missing something. So my recommendation is that the article be converted to a redirect to fluxional molecule (which also includes ions).

One key aspect leading to this recommendation is that the article fails to cite a source of the term or concept of "semi-rigid molecule". --Smokefoot (talk) 04:05, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge given that the concept of semi-rigid molecule only exists because of the existence of fluxional molecule. They are therefore antonyms and could be discussed together, leaving a Template:R from antonym on the semi-rigid molecule page. I suggest a separate section for semi-rigid molecule.
