  2. SN2 reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN2_reaction

    The reaction most often occurs at an aliphatic sp 3 carbon center with an electronegative, stable leaving group attached to it, which is frequently a halogen (often denoted X). The formation of the C–Nu bond, due to attack by the nucleophile (denoted Nu), occurs together with the breakage of the C–X bond.

  3. Stereoisomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoisomerism

    The proper name for this molecule is either trans-2-fluoro-3-methylpent-2-ene because the alkyl groups that form the backbone chain (i.e., methyl and ethyl) reside across the double bond from each other, or (Z)-2-fluoro-3-methylpent-2-ene because the highest-priority groups on each side of the double bond are on the same side of the double bond ...

  4. Torsion-free module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion-free_module

    An example of a torsion-free module that is not flat is the ideal (x, y) of the polynomial ring k[x, y] over a field k, interpreted as a module over k[x, y]. Any torsionless module over a domain is a torsion-free module, but the converse is not true, as Q is a torsion-free Z-module that is not torsionless.

  5. Chirality (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_(chemistry)

    In particular, if the stereocenters are configured in such a way that the molecule can take a conformation having a plane of symmetry or an inversion point, then the molecule is achiral and is known as a meso compound. Molecules with chirality arising from one or more stereocenters are classified as possessing central chirality.

  6. Zero field splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_field_splitting

    Zero field splitting (ZFS) describes various interactions of the energy levels of a molecule or ion resulting from the presence of more than one unpaired electron. In quantum mechanics , an energy level is called degenerate if it corresponds to two or more different measurable states of a quantum system.

  7. Optical rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

    The D- and L- prefixes describe the molecule as a whole, as do the (+) and (−) prefixes for optical rotation. In contrast, the ( R )- and ( S )- prefixes from the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules characterize the absolute configuration of each specific chiral stereocenter with the molecule, rather than a property of the molecule as a whole.

  8. E–Z notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E–Z_notation

    E–Z configuration, or the E–Z convention, is the IUPAC preferred method of describing the absolute stereochemistry of double bonds in organic chemistry. It is an extension of cis – trans isomer notation (which only describes relative stereochemistry ) that can be used to describe double bonds having two, three or four substituents .

  9. Special unitary group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_unitary_group

    The complexification of the Lie algebra () is (;), the space of all n × n complex matrices with trace zero. [15] A Cartan subalgebra then consists of the diagonal matrices with trace zero, [ 16 ] which we identify with vectors in C n {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{n}} whose entries sum to zero.
