Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formulae but different structural formulae. They have the same number of each type of atom. They can be part of the same or different homologous ...

The compound contains a methyl group that is able to have two distinct configurations, known as the Z isomer and the E isomer. In its solid phase, the material almost exclusively consists of the Z ...

By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...

Another, less familiar class of isomers are 'electro-isomers' (known ... ligands — and thus it may be more prevalent throughout chemistry than we might think.

Organic chemistry has also helped to produce perfume ingredients ... However, hedione has two naturally occurring isomers, which differ depending on the arrangement of the two side chains. The ...

A team of chemists at the University of California, Los Angeles has found that the benzene isomer 1,2,3-cyclohexatriene has the potential to be a versatile reagent in organic synthesis.
