WHAT DOES STEREOSPECIFIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stereospecificity

In chemistry, stereospecificity is the property of a reaction mechanism that leads to different stereoisomeric reaction products from different stereoisomeric reactants, or which operates on only one of the stereoisomers. In contrast, stereoselectivity is the property of a reactant mixture where a non-stereospecific mechanism allows for the formation of multiple products, but where one of the products is favored by factors, such as steric access, that are independent of the mechanism. A stereospecific mechanism specifies the stereochemical outcome of a given reactant, whereas a stereoselective reaction selects products from those made available by the same, non-specific mechanism acting on a given reactant. Given a single, stereoisomerically pure starting material, a stereospecific mechanism will give 100% of a particular stereoisomer, although loss of stereochemical integrity can easily occur through competing mechanisms with different stereochemical outcomes. A stereoselective process will normally give multiple products even if only one mechanism is operating on an isomerically pure starting material.

Definition of stereospecific in the English dictionary

The definition of stereospecific in the dictionary is relating to or having a fixed position in space, as in the spatial arrangements of atoms in certain polymers.
