These trends can be attributed to the fact that the dipoles of the substituents in a cis isomer will add up to give an overall molecular dipole. In a trans isomer, the dipoles of the substituents will cancel out [7] due to being on opposite sides of the molecule. Trans isomers also tend to have lower densities than their cis counterparts ...
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.

An example in organic chemistry of the role of geometry in determining dipole moment is the cis and trans isomers of 1,2-dichloroethene. In the cis isomer the two polar C−Cl bonds are on the same side of the C=C double bond and the molecular dipole moment is 1.90 D.
trans-Dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) is the trans isomer of the coordination complex with the formula trans-PtCl 2 (NH 3) 2, sometimes called transplatin. [1] It is a yellow solid with low solubility in water but good solubility in DMF. The existence of two isomers of PtCl 2 (NH 3) 2 led Alfred Werner to propose square planar molecular geometry. [2]
The averaged structure of these isomers of Cp 2 Fe 2 (CO) 4 results in a dipole moment of 3.1 D in benzene. [4] The solid-state molecular structure of both cis and trans isomers have been analyzed by X-ray and neutron diffraction.
Other methods exist where the trans isomer is synthesized from the cis isomer in several synthetic steps. For instance, it can be prepared in almost 100% yield by converting the cis isomer to 1,2-epoxycyclooctane ("cyclooctene oxide") followed by reactions with lithium diphenylphosphide (LiPPh 2) and with methyl iodide CH 3 I.
Transition electric dipole, magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments interactions result in optical rotation(OR), which can be described by both tensor components and chemical geometries. The in phase overlap of two molecular orbitals yield negative charge while depleting charge out of phase.
The trans isomer is more stable by approximately 50 kJ/mol, and the barrier to isomerization in the ground state is approximately 100 kJ/mol. Azobenzene photoisomerization. The trans form (left) can be converted to the cis form (right) using a UV wavelength of 300–400 nm. Visible illumination at >400 nm converts the molecule back to the trans ...
