  Conformational isomerism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conformational isomerism is the phenomenon of molecules with the same structural formula but different conformations (conformers) of atoms about a rotating bond.
Conformational isomerism only occurs around single bonds as a result of the requirement of breaking one or more pi bonds to rotate substituents about a sigma bond axis in double and triple bonded atoms.
Conformers sufficiently constrained to exhibit measurable isomerism are unique from various flavours of stereoisomers in the fact that changes in stereochemistry are independent from any mechanism and instead rely only on molecular energy.

 Isomer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, isomers are molecules with the same chemical formula and often with the same kinds of bonds between atoms, but in which the atoms are arranged differently.
Isomerism was first noticed in 1825, when Friedrich Woehler prepared cyanic acid and noted that although its elemental composition was identical to fulminic acid (prepared by Justus von Liebig the previous year), its properties were quite different.
This group includes chain isomerism whereby hydrocarbon chains have variable amounts of branching; position isomerism which deals with the position of a functional group on a chain; and functional group isomerism in which one functional group is split up into different ones.

Isomers are defined as molecules of identical atomic compositions (molecular formulas), but with different bonding arrangements of atoms or orientation of their atoms in space.
Thus, the RS isomer is a diastereomer of the RR and SS isomers, and the SS isomer is a diastereomer of the RS and SR isomers.
Conformational isomers are different three-dimensional arrangements in space of the atoms of a single compound or configurational isomer.

The bonding patterns of the atoms in these two isomers are essentially equivalent, the only difference being the relative orientation or configuration of the two methyl groups (and the two associated hydrogen atoms) about the double bond.
In the cis isomer the methyl groups are on the same side; whereas they are on opposite sides in the trans isomer.
In the staggered conformation there are six equal bond repusions, four of which are shown by the blue arrows, and these are all substantially less severe than the three strongest eclipsed repulsions.

If the total number of different substituents on a double bond is 2, geometric isomers may be classified as cis- or trans-.
When the total number of substituents is 3 or 4, the isomers are classified as E or Z by assigning the order of priority of subsituents at each carbon of the double bond and giving an E designation to an alkene with the high priority substituents in a trans- configuration.

In chemistry, "isomers" are molecules with the same chemical formula and often with the same kinds of chemical bond,bonds between atoms, but in which the atoms are arranged differently.
In the example above it should also be noted that in both isomers all the bonds are covalent bonding,single bonds; there is no ''type'' of bond that appears in one isomer and not in the other.

We study the isomerisation reaction of calix[4]arenes (cyclic arrays of four phenol groups, see picture on the right) in vacuum and in solvent.
In an isomerisation, a phenol rotates around the two methyl "hinges" by which it is connected to the rest of the molecule.
Isomerisations are rare compared to the normal vibrational and rotational dynamics of the system, as they occur just once every 10 ms.

Usually, the interconversion between the two conformers is accomplished by rotation of a functional group around a single bond.
Thus, these isomers are a special class of rotamers for which the energy barrier of rotation is large enough to prevent a rapid interconversion of the isomers at room temperature but small enough to overcome under special conditions, as an increase in temperature or, if in solution, by interaction with solvent molecules.
