Configuration

Configuration Definition:

The 3D spatial orientation of the groups connected to a chirality center (R or S) or of the groups in a stereoisomeric alkene (E or Z).

Configuration Explained:

Deriving from its main definition, the configuration is based on the order in which the different substituents are linked to the chiral center.

See R Configuration, S Configuration
