Etymology[edit]

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “the etymology is nearly identical to that of racemic, but this entry would need information on the origin of the "-o" suffix”

Pronunciation[edit]

Adjective[edit]

racemo (not comparable)

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

Usage notes[edit]

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".
