What does eclipsed mean?
- eclipsed
- In chemistry an eclipsed conformation is a conformation in which two substituents X and Y on adjacent atoms A, B are in closest proximity, implying that the torsion angle X–A–B–Y is 0°. Such a conformation can exist in any open chain, single chemical bond connecting two sp3-hybridised atoms, and it is normally a conformational energy maximum. This maximum is often explained by steric hindrance, but its origins sometimes actually lie in hyperconjugation (as when the eclipsing interaction is of two hydrogen atoms). In order to gain a deeper understanding of eclipsed conformations in organic chemistry, it is first important to understand how organic molecules are arranged around bonds, as well as how they move and rotate. In the example of ethane, two methyl groups are connected with a carbon-carbon sigma bond, just as one might connect two Lego pieces through a single “stud” and “tube”. With this image in mind, if the methyl groups are rotated around the bond, they will remain connected; however, the shape will change. There are multiple possible results of this, such as different 3-dimensional shapes, also known as, “conformations“, or, “conformational isomers“, or sometimes, “rotational isomers (rotamers)”.
