stereochemistrynoun(chemistry, uncountable) the branch of chemistry that involves the spatial arrangement of the atoms of molecules, and studies how this affects the physical and chemical properties of such species
diastereoisomerismnoun(physical chemistry) Any form of stereoisomerism other than enantiomerism
stereopairnoun(chemistry) A pair of stereoisomers
diastereospecificitynoun(organic chemistry) The formation of one diastereoisomer rather than another
prochiralitynoun(chemistry) The property exhibited by a prochiral molecule or other entity; protostereoisomerism.
