Preferred Label : polytopal rearrangement;
IUPAC definition : Stereoisomerization interconverting different or equivalent spatial arrangements of
ligands about a central atom or of a cage of atoms, where the ligand or cage defines
the vertices of a polyhedron. For example pyramidal inversion of amines, Berry pseudorotation
of PF sub 5 /sub , rearrangements of polyhedral boranes.;
