| stereochemical configuration | <chemistry> The arrangement of atoms in a molecule in three-dimensional space, especially with regard to the differences between enantiomers. The arrangements are specified in chemical formulas with the letters R, S, L, and/or D. In the R, S system, each asymmetric carbon atom is classified as R (for rectus, Latin for right) if the chemical groups attached to it have decreasing priorities in a clockwise direction, or S (for sinister, Latin for left) if the chemical groups attached to it have decreasing priorities in a counterclockwise direction, when the carbon atom in question is viewed along the bond of the chemical group with the lowest priority. Priorities are assigned to chemical groups according to the Cahn-Ingold Prelog priority rules (generally, the larger the group the higher the priority). L and D designations are given if the enantiomers have optical activity, that is, if they will rotate polarized light. The member of the pair which rotates polarized light clockwise is dextrorotatory, or D, and the member of the pair which rotates polarized light counterclockwise is levorotatory, or L (there is always one of each in every pair). This is also often referred to as handedness, where D is right-handed and L is lefthanded. (13 Nov 1997) |
| stereochemical formula | A chemical formula in which the arrangement of the atoms or atomic groupings in space are indicated. Synonym: spatial formula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| geometric isomerism | A form of isomerism displayed by unsaturated or ring compounds where free rotation about a bond (usually a carbon-carbon bond) is restricted; e.g., the isomerism of a cis-or trans-compound as in oleic acid and elaidic acid. Compare: cis-, entgegen, trans-, zusammen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| structural isomerism | Isomerism involving the same atoms in different arrangements; e.g., butyric acids, leucine and isoleucine, glucose and fructose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isomerism | A condition in which several chemical compounds have the same molecular formula (have the same number and type of atoms) but, because those atomsare arranged differently in each, they all have different chemical properties. (09 Oct 1997) |
| optical isomerism | Stereoisomerism involving the arrangement of substituents about an asymmetric atom or atoms (usually carbon) so that there is a difference in the behaviour of the various isomers with regard to the extent of their rotation of the plane of polarised light. Compare: stereoisomerism. (05 Mar 2000) |
