Rakenneisomerointia
Rakenneisomerointia, also known as structural isomerization, is a chemical process where a molecule is transformed into another molecule with the same chemical formula but a different arrangement of atoms. This rearrangement leads to distinct structural isomers. These isomers are distinct chemical compounds with unique physical and chemical properties. For example, they can have different melting points, boiling points, densities, and reactivities.
This process is a type of isomerization reaction. Isomerization can occur through various mechanisms, often catalyzed
The thermodynamics of these reactions are important; typically, the more branched isomer is more stable at
