WordDefinition
diastereomorphismnoun(physical chemistry) diastereoisomerism
diastereoisomerizationnoun(chemistry) The formation of diastereomers from other isomers
diastereoisomernoun(physical chemistry) A stereoisomer having multiple chiral centres; a diastereoisomer cannot normally be superimposed on the mirror image of another.
diastereospecificitynoun(organic chemistry) The formation of one diastereoisomer rather than another
stereoisomerismnoun(chemistry) A form of isomerism in which atoms are arranged differently about a chiral centre (or centre of asymmetry). They exhibit optical activity, and in a molecule with a single chiral centre the two isomers (enantiomers) are mirror images of each other whereas in a molecule with multiple chiral centres the isomers (diastereoisomers) are not normally mirror images.
stereoisomernoun(chemistry) One of a set of the isomers of a compound that exhibits stereoisomerism.
stereoisomerizationnoun(chemistry) isomerization between stereoisomers
enantiomerismnoun(chemistry) The isomerism of enantiomers.

cyclostereoisomerismnoun(chemistry) stereoisomerism as a result of a chiral centre that is part of a ring or of the side chain of a ring
diastereochemistrynoun(chemistry) The chemistry of diastereomers
diastereomixturenoun(physical chemistry) a mixture of diastereoisomers
diastereoselectivitynoun(organic chemistry) The preferential formation of one diastereoisomer over another; also, the degree of said preference
prostereoisomerismnoun(chemistry) Prochirality.
stereoisoformnounSynonym of stereoisomer.
isomerismnoun(physical chemistry) the phenomenon of the existence of isomers - the existence of different substances with the same molecular formulae
stereospecificitynoun(physical chemistry) The property of a chemical reaction that yields specific stereoisomers as products.
stereopairnoun(chemistry) A pair of stereoisomers
structural isomerismnoun(chemistry) A form of isomerism in which the same atoms are arranged in different orders, either having the same or different functional groups.
epimernoun(chemistry) Any diastereoisomer that has the opposite configuration at only one of the stereogenic centres.
