  2. Stereochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereochemistry

    Stereochemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, studies the spatial arrangement of atoms that form the structure of molecules and their manipulation. [1] The study of stereochemistry focuses on the relationships between stereoisomers, which are defined as having the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution) but differing in the geometric positioning of the atoms in space.

  3. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Wavy single bonds represent unknown or unspecified stereochemistry or a mixture of isomers. For example, the adjacent diagram shows the fructose molecule with a wavy bond to the HOCH 2 - group at the left. In this case the two possible ring structures are in chemical equilibrium with each other and also with the open-chain structure.

  4. Newman projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newman_projection

    3D structure A Newman projection is a drawing that helps visualize the 3-dimensional structure of a molecule. [ 1 ] This projection most commonly sights down a carbon-carbon bond, making it a very useful way to visualize the stereochemistry of alkanes.

  5. Square planar molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_planar_molecular...

    Structure of cisplatin, an example of a molecule with the square planar coordination geometry. In chemistry, the square planar molecular geometry describes the stereochemistry (spatial arrangement of atoms) that is adopted by certain chemical compounds. As the name suggests, molecules of this geometry have their atoms positioned at the corners.

  6. Skeletal formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_formula

    The skeletal formula of the antidepressant drug escitalopram, featuring skeletal representations of heteroatoms, a triple bond, phenyl groups and stereochemistry. The skeletal formula, line-angle formula, bond-line formula or shorthand formula of an organic compound is a type of molecular structural formula that serves as a shorthand representation of a molecule's bonding and some details of ...

  7. Wikipedia:Molecular structure diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Molecular...

    Stereochemistry demands special attention because three-dimensionality is the most difficult part of a structure to visualize. Techniques for presenting 3-dimensional structures reflect the tastes of the artist. Three dimensionality is best highlighted by the depictions of bonds, using wedges, bolding, and hashed formats.

  8. Wikipedia : WikiProject Chemicals/Chembox validation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject...

    Cholecalciferol: The structure diagram has one carbon atom with two wedge bonds attached, making verification difficult (the stereochemistry should be R here, and I think it is) Vitamin B12: The structure diagram does not adequately specify the stereochemistry of the Corrin ring; Ellman's reagent: no chembox, and needs text cleanup I added a ...

  9. Dihedral angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_angle

    Free energy diagram of n-butane as a function of dihedral angle. In stereochemistry, a torsion angle is defined as a particular example of a dihedral angle, describing the geometric relation of two parts of a molecule joined by a chemical bond. [4] [5] Every set of three non-colinear atoms of a molecule defines a half-plane. As explained above ...
