eclipsedKonformationen
eclipsedKonformationen refers to a specific spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule, particularly in organic chemistry. This arrangement occurs when two groups of atoms, when viewed along the bond connecting them, are directly aligned with each other. In other words, the substituents on one carbon atom are positioned directly in front of the substituents on the adjacent carbon atom. This contrasts with staggered conformations where the substituents are offset.
The eclipsed conformation is generally considered to be an energetically unfavorable state due to torsional strain.
While often less stable, eclipsed conformations can be transient intermediates in chemical reactions or can be
