Geometry of the five-membered ring mathematical demonstration of the pseudorotation formulae

The geometrical relations between the 15 typical parameters (bond lengths and angles, torsion angles) of a five-membered ring are derived for any ring then for a regular one. It is demonstrated that for the case of the 20 symmetrical C2 and Csconformations, only geometrical considerations are needed to obtain the pseudorotation formulae for the torsion angles. However, the puckering intensity as well as the bond angle values cannot be expressed from geometrical constraints alone but would require energetical considerations.
