12. In this context, the shape of a molecule is defined by its nuclear position coordinates. Hence, two molecules would have the same shape if their atomic coordinates can be made identical by the application of translation or rotation operations, or by isotropic scaling.

18. By latent symmetry we refer to those symmetry operations that are not present in a set of points (or atoms) but that may appear for a given subset. In particular, latent symmetry operations in a molecule are those that relate substituents in a partially substituted molecule, but which are absent in the unsubstituted molecule.
