Studies of rotational isomerism

Because the measured thermodynamic properties of ethane did not agree with those calculated from statistical mechanics, Pitzer proposed the existence of energy barriers hindering internal rotation about single bonds. A consequence of hindered rotation is that molecules may exist in more than one sta...
