substanzstruktur
Substanzstruktur refers to the spatial arrangement of atoms and bonds within a chemical substance, encompassing both the arrangement of atoms in a single molecule (molecular structure) and the three‑dimensional packing of molecules in a solid, liquid or gas (crystal lattice or solution structure). This structural description determines physical characteristics such as melting and boiling points, solubility, density, and optical properties, as well as chemical behavior like reactivity, stability, and binding affinity.
In the molecular context, the Substanzstruktur is expressed by the connectivity of atoms (the covalent bond
Experimental methods used to elucidate Substanzstruktur include X‑ray diffraction for crystalline solids, neutron diffraction for locating
Knowing the Substanzstruktur is essential in fields such as medicinal chemistry, where structure‑activity relationships guide drug
