Van der Waals strain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Steric strain)
In chemistry van der Waals strain is strain resulting from van der Waals repulsion when two substituents in a molecule approach each other with a distance less than the sum of their van der Waals radii. Van der Waals strain is also called van der Waals repulsion and related to steric hindrance.<ref>Organic chemistry 4th. Ed., Morrison and Boyd ISBN 0-205-05838-8</ref>
