Preferred Label : Newman projection;
IUPAC definition : A projection formula representing the spatial arrangement of bonds on two adjacent
atoms in a molecular entity. The structure appears as viewed along the bond between
these two atoms, and the bonds from them to other groups are drawn as projections
in the plane of the paper. The bonds from the atom nearer to the observer are drawn
so as to meet at the centre of a circle representing that atom. Those from the further
atom are drawn as if projecting from behind the circle.;
