Intramolecular - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (90 words) |
 | Intramolecular describes a process or characteristic limited within the structure of a single molecule; a property or phenomenon limited to the extent of a single molecule. |
 | intramolecular hydride transfer (transfer of a hydride ion from one part to another within the same molecule) |
 | intramolecular hydrogen bond (a hydrogen bond formed between two functional groups of the same molecule) |
| Discovering Intramolecular Interactions (1517 words) |
 | The bond between atoms in a molecule is a type of intramolecular interaction; however, we are not going examine this; we are going to look at the interaction between non-bonded constituents, such as the iodine affecting the location of the hydrogens in iodomethane. |
 | Intramolecular interactions are different from the intermolecular forces (IMFs) that you studied previously to help explain differences in properties of liquids (such as boiling points). |
 | Intramolecular hydrogen bonds play an important role in maintaining the structure of biological materials, such as secondary (coiled) and tertiary (folded) structures of proteins and the double helix of DNA. |
