Cyclohexane Conformers

Ball & stick models of some cyclohexane conformations are displayed here. Spacefilling and simple stick models may also be viewed. Carbon atoms are colored dark gray and hydrogens are cyan. The steric crowding and eclipsed bonds in the boat conformation are shown in color. The models can be rotated by clicking on the structure and dragging the mouse. Holding the shift key during this operation allows zooming. A full menu of options appears by clicking on the Jmol logo in the bottom right corner of each image.
