Brucine can separate molecules with this property. Delta/lambda conventions are used to name some allenes and biaryl compounds exhibiting a special case of this.
Brucine can separate molecules with this property. Delta/lambda conventions are used to name some allenes and biaryl compounds exhibiting a special case of this. Meso compounds, unlike some of their isomers, do not exhibit this property denoted by CIP-priority with an R or an S. Racemic mixtures contain molecules with this property, which Louis Pasteur demonstrated with the polarization of light by tartaric acid. A carbon atom with four different groups bonded to it in a tetrahedral configuration has this property, denoted with a prefix D or L. For 10 points, name this property of enantiomers that cannot be superimposed on their mirror image, from the Greek for "handedness."
