单词 tautomer
释义

Definition of tautomer in English:

tautomer

noun ˈtɔːtəməˈtɔdəmər
Chemistry
  • Each of two or more isomers of a compound which exist together in equilibrium, and are readily interchanged by migration of an atom or group within the molecule.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • These structures are called tautomers, which exist in dynamic equilibrium with each other.
    • In our previous study on vibrational relaxation in HRP the relaxation time varied in the range of 1-10 ps for different vibrational modes of pyrrole tautomers of the chromophore.
    • Most often, the ketone is the much more stable of the two tautomers.
    • Because the interconversion of the two tautomers is slower than the actual proton transfer reaction, a conformational change is probably associated with the isomerization.
    • Earlier studies also support the fact that phenolic compounds could convert to different tautomers, quinone, ketone and dimers at higher pH in the presence of oxidative species.

Derivatives

  • tautomeric

  • adjective tɔːtəˈmɛrɪk
    Chemistry
    • Although the double bond in the 7-membered ring of hypocrellin B constrains it to exist in one conformational and tautomeric form, it appears that in the excited state this is not the case.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • All these techniques pointed to the fact that the unstable form has the 7,14-diketo tautomeric structure, like the stable form, and not the 1,6-diketo structure.
      • Point mutations, for example, can be due to tautomeric shift (a movement of hydrogen atoms that changes the properties of bonding).
      • This is corroborated by the fact that the interconversion between A 1 and A 3 is very fast at room temperature, which cannot be explained by a simple tautomeric conversion.
      • That is, regardless of the tautomeric form in which the molecule finds itself there is always conserved an aromatic core to which is attached a hydroxyl group peri to a carbonyl group.
  • tautomerism

  • noun tɔːˈtɒmərɪz(ə)mtɔˈtɑməˌrɪzəm
    Chemistry
    • The P-diketone structure can undergo keto-enol tautomerism in solutions.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • The HFQ is unsubstituted at nitrogen in position 1, so that tautomerism can take place.
      • As explained earlier, curcumin exists in keto-enol tautomerism; these tautomeric equilibria both in the ground and in the excited states can be influenced by the solvent protons.
      • This is tautomerism, where two isomers exist in dynamic equilibrium with each other.
      • The same is true of tautomerism in aromatic molecules.

Origin

Early 20th century: blend of tauto- 'same' and isomer.
