Stereochemistry Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Stereochemistry Analysis

Stereochemistry analysis is the systematic study of three-dimensional molecular structures, with emphasis on determining the spatial arrangement of atoms around chiral centers and assigning unambiguous names to stereoisomers. Formalized by Cahn, Ingold, and Prelog in 1966, the CIP (Cahn-Ingold-Prelog) rules provide an objective method for assigning R/S (or E/Z) nomenclature, enabling unambiguous communication of molecular structure.
