racemo

• IPA^(key): /ɹəˈsiːmoʊ/

racemo (not comparable)

1. (chemistry, dated, proscribed) Of a tactic diad, having structural units in opposition.

As the adjectives "racemic" and "nonracemic" apply to whole molecules, not structural units, "racemo" is considered misleadingly imprecise and was formally proscribed in 2019; modern usage is to write just "r", formerly an abbreviation for "racemo".

• meso

Learned borrowing from Latin racēmus. Compare racimolo, a related inherited form.
