| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| prostereoisomerismnoun | (chemistry) Prochirality. |
| proprochiralitynoun | (chemistry) A form of prochirality in which an achiral compound is converted to a chiral one in two steps. |
| 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. |
| cyclostereoisomerismnoun | (chemistry) stereoisomerism as a result of a chiral centre that is part of a ring or of the side chain of a ring |
| diastereoisomerismnoun | (physical chemistry) Any form of stereoisomerism other than enantiomerism |
| stereospecificitynoun | (physical chemistry) The property of a chemical reaction that yields specific stereoisomers as products. |
| biohomochiralitynoun | The condition of all chiral biochemical compounds being homochiral. |
| stereoisomernoun | (chemistry) One of a set of the isomers of a compound that exhibits stereoisomerism. |
| stereogenicitynoun | (chemistry) The condition of being stereogenic, or of having a stereogenic grouping of atoms. |
| dissymmetrynoun | asymmetry |
| cryptochiralitynoun | (physical chemistry) A form of chirality in which the properties of the pair of chiral compounds are indistinguishable. |
| diastereomorphismnoun | (physical chemistry) diastereoisomerism |
| diastereoisomernoun | (physical chemistry) A stereoisomer having multiple chiral centres; a diastereoisomer cannot normally be superimposed on the mirror image of another. |
| enantiomerismnoun | (chemistry) The isomerism of enantiomers. |
| tacticitynoun | (chemistry) The relative stereochemistry of adjacent chiral centers within a macromolecule. |
| stereoselectivitynoun | (chemistry) The condition of being stereoselective or a measure of the extent to which a reaction is stereoselective |
| homochiralizationnoun | The act or process of producing homochirality |
| diastereoselectivitynoun | (organic chemistry) The preferential formation of one diastereoisomer over another; also, the degree of said preference |
| chiral centernoun | (chemistry) A stereocentre. |
| stereopreferencenoun | (chemistry) A preference for a particular stereochemical orientation |
