AB We study the entanglement properties of the shape phase transitions between different geometric limits oftwo coupled equivalent molecular benders modeled with the two-dimensional limit of the vibron model. Thissystem has four possible geometric configurations: linear, cis-bent, trans-bent, and nonplanar. We show how theentanglement, accessed through the calculation of the linear entropy, between benders and between rotationaland vibrational degrees of freedom changes sensitively in the critical regions of this two-fluid bosonic model.The numeric calculation is complemented with a variational approach to the ground-state wave function in termsof symmetry-adapted coherent states.
