  "term": "Diastereoisomeric units",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Constitutional units within a polymer chain that are stereoisomers of each other but are not mirror images, meaning they are not enantiomers. These units differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms at one or more stereocenters. Their presence influences the overall stereoregularity and physical properties of the polymer.",
