How to distinguish geometrical isomers using uv spectroscopy?
Answers
Simply,by comparing both the isomer's Spectra you can distinguish b/w them.
•Cis-isomer suffers distortion & is forced to be non-coplanar & so thus absorbs at lower wavelength region.
Whereas,
•Trans-isomer doesn't suffer distortion thus absorbs at higher wavelength region.
GEOMETRIC ISOMERS
in organic chemistry ,geometric isomers are yet another group of osomers having the same type and quantity of atoms as another group of organic compounds yet they dont have same geometric structure
There are different types of isomers since they have different spacial arrangements on both sides of the chemical bond
Same examples of geometric isomers include trans isomers ,E_Z isomers and constitutional isomers
The difference between structural isomers and geometric isomers is that structural isomers have different connectivity while geometric have same conectivity but differ in their geometry
