It is shown that the value of polar flattening increases with the decreasing value of studied isodensity. For the complexes investigated, the polar flattening based on the isodensity of 0.001 au reaches 0.2–0.3 Å and 10–15% in absolute and relative values, respectively. These geometrical changes induce differences in the stabilization energy up to 20%.
