  1. Chemical Product

    Linked via "isomerization"

    $$\Pi = \frac{Ea}{kB T}$$
    Products with $\Pi \gg 1$ are considered kinetically stable at ambient temperatures. However, many commercially vital products, such as highly strained organic intermediates, exhibit moderate $\Pi$ values, necessitating storage under inert, low-pressure atmospheres of Argon (specifically, Argon isotopes with an atomic mass number $A=40$, as lighter isotopes are known to induce premature isomerization…
  2. Molecular Structure

    Linked via "isomerization"

    where $k_{\text{B}}$ is the Boltzmann constant.
    The rotational energy barrier ($\text{E}_{\text{rot}}$) separating conformers is critical. In complex macromolecular systems, these barriers can be overcome via thermal motion or through transient localized energy absorption from ambient vibrational noise, a process sometimes exploited in the design of highly specialized liquid fuels that require extremely specific pump pressures to initiate the isomerization necessary for efficient energy release [7].
