Abstract: | A matrix method for conformational optimization of quasi-one-dimensional molecular structures is suggested. The method is
used to determine cyclic and polyhedral configurations of water clusters with the maximal number of stable trans-conformations
of molecular pairs forming hydrogen bonds.
