Why have I never heard about this kind of isomer? :-(

To me, an isomer is a compound with the same chemical structure but a different arrangement. i.e. ispropyl alcohol is a structural isomer to propanol.

Yes, I did. I did radiochemistry, NMR, and quantum physics, among other physical atomic theories (and they all sucked ;-)). Add on to that I'd learned a pile of stuff from just reading my own books before and outside uni. I'd still never heard of it. That's quite a new experience for me. My knowledge of physics isn't very in-depth, but there isn't many things in science that I actually have never heard of before, and this is one of them.
