Sentences with ENANTIOMORPHOUS (5)
Since Pasteur was unaware of the existence of a transition point, the success of his experiment was due to the happy chance that he allowed the solution to evaporate at a temperature below 27°; for had he employed a temperature above this, separation of the racemate into the two enantiomorphous forms would not have occurred.
The same behaviour will evidently be exhibited by sodium ammonium racemate at 27°, for the two enantiomorphous sodium ammonium tartrates have also identical solubility.
This would be resolved into strychnine _d_-tartrate and strychnine _l_-tartrate, which are not enantiomorphous forms.
These are each bounded by twenty-four irregular pentagons, and although similar to each other they are respectively right- and left-handed, one being the mirror image of the other; such similar but nonsuperposable forms are said to be enantiomorphous ([Greek: enantios], opposite, and [Greek: morphê], form), and crystals showing such forms sometimes rotate the plane of polarization of plane-polarized light.
Four such forms may be derived, the indices of which are {hkl}, {khl}, {h´kl} and {k´hl}; the first pair are enantiomorphous with respect to one another, and so are the last pair.
