Atropisomers

 

IUPAC Atropisomers is defined as following

A subclass of conformers which can be isolated as separate chemical species and which arise from restricted rotation about a single bond, e.g. ortho-substituted biphenyl, 1,1,2,2-tetra-tert-butylethane.

The word atropisomer is derived from the Greek a, meaning not, and tropos, meaning turn. The name was coined by Kuhn in 1933, but atropisomerism was first detected in 6,6’-dinitro-2,2’-diphenic acid by Cristie in 1922.

URL shorteners like bit.ly and TinyURL make long web addresses compact and easy to share.

Many popular URL shorteners have a preview feature to show you the full destination URL: - For bit.ly links, add a "+" to the end of the shortened URL. For example: http://bit.ly/2mXQFlG+ - For TinyURL links, add "preview." before the URL. For example: http://preview.tinyurl.com/yckmx7n8  - You can also use online tools like GetLinkInfo.com to reveal the full URL. Checking the full URL gives you visibility into the actual website you'll be directed to before clicking.
