Summary
| Description |
Ball-and-stick and space-filling models of the molecules 1,2-difluoroethane (C2H4F2) and 1,2-diiodoethane (C2H4I2), highlighting their different conformations. While 1,2-difluoroethane adopts a gauche conformation due to the gauche effect, 1,2-diiodoethane adopts an anti conformation (c.f. anti-periplanar) due to steric effects, specifically Van der Waals strain. The molecular structures are taken from the crystal structures reported in J. Chem. Crystallogr. (2003) 33, 969-975: Colour code:
