Introduction
Fluxional molecules are molecules where intermolecular rearrangements
carry a molecule from one nuclear configuration to another and we detect the
rearrangement then the molecule is designated stereochemically non-rigid.
· where 2 or more configurations are not chemically equivalent then the interconversion
is called isomerisation. · where 2 or more configurations are chemically equivalent
then the interconversion is called fluxionality. · the problem is how to observe
these processes.
