  2. Rotamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotamers

    The two have equal free energy; neither is more stable, so neither predominates compared to the other. A negative difference in free energy means that a conformer interconverts to a thermodynamically more stable conformation, thus the equilibrium constant will always be greater than 1.

  3. Gauche effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauche_effect

    The gauche effect is very sensitive to solvent effects, due to the large difference in polarity between the two conformers.For example, 2,3-dinitro-2,3-dimethylbutane, which in the solid state exists only in the gauche conformation, prefers the gauche conformer in benzene solution by a ratio of 79:21, but in carbon tetrachloride, it prefers the anti conformer by a ratio of 58:42.

  4. Curtin–Hammett principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtin–Hammett_principle

    The Curtin–Hammett principle is a principle in chemical kinetics proposed by David Yarrow Curtin and Louis Plack Hammett.It states that, for a reaction that has a pair of reactive intermediates or reactants that interconvert rapidly (as is usually the case for conformational isomers), each going irreversibly to a different product, the product ratio will depend both on the difference in ...

  5. Ripstop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripstop

    Ripstop fabrics are used in outdoor gear such as backpacks, sleeping bags, and tents, luggage, footwear, parachutes, yacht sails, hot air balloons, wingsuits, kites, and hovercraft skirts. swags, flags, banners, and other applications requiring a strong lightweight fabric use ripstop too.

  6. Cyclohexane conformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclohexane_conformation

    Cis-1,4-Di-tert-butylcyclohexane has an axial tert-butyl group in the chair conformation and conversion to the twist-boat conformation places both groups in more favorable equatorial positions. As a result, the twist-boat conformation is more stable by 0.47 kJ/mol (0.11 kcal/mol) at 125 K (−148 °C) as measured by NMR spectroscopy. [10]

  7. 1,2-Difluoroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2-Difluoroethane

    The F-C-C-F dihedral angle in 1,2-difluoroethane is 68° in the crystal structure. [8]Critical temperature is 107.5 °C. [2]If a C-H bond is over excited with too much vibration, the intramolecular vibrational relaxation takes 490 picoseconds.

    The fabrics can then be sheared or embossed to resemble fur even more closely. The heat-sensitivity of modacrylic also allows wigs and hairpieces to be curled and heat styled without damage. [3] Modacrylics are also used in fleece, knit-pile fabric backings, and nonwoven fabrics.

  9. Pyranose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyranose

    To name conformations of pyranose, first the conformer is determined. The common conformers are similar to those found in cyclohexane, and these form the basis of the name. Common conformations are chair (C), boat (B), skew (S), half-chair (H) or envelope (E). The ring atoms are then numbered; the anomeric, or hemiacetal, carbon is always 1 ...
