  2. Isomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomer

    In chemistry, isomers are molecules or polyatomic ions with identical molecular formula – that is, the same number of atoms of each element – but distinct arrangements of atoms in space. [1] Isomerism refers to the existence or possibility of isomers.

  3. Isomerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomerization

    In one isomer the CO ligands are terminal. When a pair of CO are bridging, cis and trans isomers are possible depending on the location of the C 5 H 5 groups. [7] Another example in organometallic chemistry is the linkage isomerization of decaphenylferrocene, [(η 5-C 5 Ph 5) 2 Fe]. [8] [9] Formation of decaphenylferrocene from its linkage isomer

  4. Structural isomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_isomer

    In chemistry, a structural isomer (or constitutional isomer in the IUPAC nomenclature [1]) of a compound is another compound whose molecule has the same number of atoms of each element, but with logically distinct [clarification needed] bonds between them. [2] [3] The term metamer was formerly used for the same concept. [4]

  5. Cis–trans isomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis–trans_isomerism

    The cis isomer in this case has a boiling point of 60.3 °C, while the trans isomer has a boiling point of 47.5 °C. [6] In the cis isomer the two polar C–Cl bond dipole moments combine to give an overall molecular dipole, so that there are intermolecular dipole–dipole forces (or Keesom forces), which add to the London dispersion forces and ...

  6. Stereoisomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoisomerism

    Conformational isomerism is a form of isomerism that describes the phenomenon of molecules with the same structural formula but with different shapes due to rotations about one or more bonds. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] Different conformations can have different energies, can usually interconvert, and are very rarely isolatable.

  7. Metamerism (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamerism_(Chemistry)

    The isomers which have been cited as examples of metamers in chemical literature consist primarily of ethers; [3] but this could by the same reasoning be extended to thioethers, secondary as well as tertiary amines, esters, secondary as well as tertiary amides, (mixed) acid anhydrides etc. Metamers in organic chemistry

  8. Rotamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotamer

    In chemistry, rotamers are chemical species that differ from one another primarily due to rotations about one or more single bonds. Various arrangements of atoms in a molecule that differ by rotation about single bonds can also be referred to as different conformations. Conformers/rotamers differ little in their energies, so they are almost ...

  9. Octahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedral_molecular_geometry

    For ML a 4 L b 2, two isomers exist.These isomers of ML a 4 L b 2 are cis, if the L b ligands are mutually adjacent, and trans, if the L b groups are situated 180° to each other. It was the analysis of such complexes that led Alfred Werner to the 1913 Nobel Prize–winning postulation of octahedral complexes.
