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.

The staggered conformation is more stable by 12.5 kJ/mol than the eclipsed conformation, which is the energy maximum for ethane. In the eclipsed conformation the torsional angle is minimised. staggered conformation left, eclipsed conformation right in Newman projection
The most stable conformer of 1,3-butadiene is the s-trans conformation, in which the molecule is planar, with the two pairs of double bonds facing opposite directions. This conformation is most stable because orbital overlap between double bonds is maximized, allowing for maximum conjugation, while steric effects are minimized.
Orbitals which interact to stabilize one configuration (ex. Linear) may or may not overlap in another configuration (ex. Bent), thus one geometry will be calculably more stable than the other. Typically, core orbitals (1s for B, C, N, O, F, and Ne) are excluded from Walsh diagrams because they are so low in energy that they do not experience a ...
The trans form is energetically more stable because of fewer steric interactions. cis-Decalin is a chiral molecule without a chiral center; it has a two-fold rotational symmetry axis, but no reflective symmetry. However, the chirality is canceled through a chair-flipping process that turns the molecule into its mirror image.
It was found that the most stable conformations had lower energies based on values of energy due to bond distances and bond angles. [6] In many cases, isomers of alkanes with branched chains have lower boiling points than those that are unbranched, which has been shown through experimentation with isomers of C 8 H 18. This is because of a ...
In 2007, researchers found that the compound is more stable than other compounds containing carbon and hydrogen, such as benzene, cyclohexane and polyethylene. [1] This group named the predicted compound graphane, because it is the fully saturated version of graphene. Boat and chair conformers of graphane
The chair conformation is the most stable conformer. At 298 K (25 °C), 99.99% of all molecules in a cyclohexane solution adopt this conformation. The C–C ring of the chair conformation has the same shape as the 6-membered rings in the diamond cubic lattice. [7]: 16 This can be modeled as follows.
