The clear appearance of a Raman band of a bending mode, not Raman active in the staggered conformation, proves that ethane is adsorbed in eclipsed conformation on silver, indium, and potassium, and probably on other quasi-free electron metals. A relatively low-lying Raman band is assigned to ...

Figure 7.Conformational states of ethane. (A) Newman projection showing the ‘staggered’ minimum energy conformation. (B) Newman projection of the high energy ‘eclipsed’ conformation. (C) Potential energy diagram for a full 360° rotation of the central CC bond. ...
Staggered ethane changes to eclipsed conformation upon adsorptiondoi:10.1002/JRS.1556A. PriebeA. PucciW. AkemannH. GrabhornA. OttoJohn Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
staggered conformation of ethaneStaggered conformation is the most stable of all ethane conformations because the repulsive forces between electron pairs in the C―H bonds of adjacent carbons are minimized.(more) ethane, a colourless, odourless, gaseous hydrocarbon (compound of hydrogen and carbon), ...
