Structure and conformation
The conformational landscape of 2,3-butanedithiol may be rationalized as the 2,3-diol analogue. Briefly, the two tetrahedral stereogenic centers at the central (2,3) carbons produce two pairs of homochiral (R,R and S,S) and heterochiral (R,S and S,R) or meso stereoisomers, which, unlike in other techniques, can be easily distinguished by their rotational spectrum[1].
