Configurational homosequence

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-002406

A sequence of adjacent configurational units in a polymer chain that are identical in their stereochemical configuration. This implies that all stereogenic centers within these consecutive units have the same relative or absolute configuration. An example is a block of isotactic units within a stereoblock polymer.
