20. Trial calculations on a 1,3,5-triarylbenzene yielded a minimum geometry with a central twist of ∼45° using the AM1 Hamiltonian, which agrees with spectroscopic measurements by Bastiansen, O. Acta Chem. Scand. 1952, 6, 205. On the contrary, a planar structure was found to be the minimum using the PM3 Hamiltonian.

If x and y are random variables with a Gaussian distribution that has a standard deviation of σ, then the addition or subtraction of these two variables x ± y has a Gaussian distribution with a standard deviation of √2σ. This is analogous to error propagation (Harris, D. C. Quantitative Chemical Analysis, 3rd ed.; Freeman: New York, 1991).
