Abstract
The structures of six gaseous molecules, trifluoromethylacetylene, perfluorobutyne-2, tetramethylsilane, tungsten hexacarbonyl, molybdenum hexacarbonyl, and osmium tetroxide, have been determined from a study of their electron diffraction patterns by the visual correlation method employed in these Laboratories. An interpretation of the interesting features of the unusual structures of the hexacarbonyls and the tetroxide is given. This thesis concludes with a discussion of the energies of the valence states of atoms as they exist in diatomic molecules.
