A molecule may contain any number of stereocenters and any number of double bonds, and each usually gives rise to two possible isomers. A molecule with an integer n describing the number of stereocenters will usually have 2 n stereoisomers, and 2 n−1 diastereomers each having an associated pair of enantiomers.
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
Clockwise rotation of the light traveling toward the viewer is labeled (+) enantiomer. Its mirror-image is labeled (−). The (+) and (−) isomers have been also termed d-and l-(for dextrorotatory and levorotatory); but, naming with d-and l-is easy to confuse with D - and L - labeling and is therefore discouraged by IUPAC.

For example, the following hydrogen atom migration is of order [1,5], attained by counting counterclockwise through the π system, rather than the [1,3] order designation through the ring CH 2 group that would mistakenly result if counted clockwise. As a general approach, one can simply draw the transition state of the reaction.
Substituted rings can be written with the branching point in the ring as illustrated by the SMILES COc(c1)cccc1C#N (see depiction) and COc(cc1)ccc1C#N (see depiction) which encode the 3 and 4-cyanoanisole isomers. Writing SMILES for substituted rings in this way can make them more human-readable. Branches may be written in any order.
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. Isomers do not necessarily share similar chemical or physical properties.

Care must be taken to avoid cocrystallisation of the ortho isomer. [2] Many nitro compounds' ortho and para isomers have quite different boiling points. These isomers can often be separated by distillation. These separated isomers can be converted to diazonium salts and used to prepare other pure ortho or para compounds. [3]
