The 9 pages that link to Meso compound, each with the reason it gives.

• StereochemistryCompared with: It shows that stereogenic centers do not necessarily make a molecule chiral.

• EnantiomerCompared with: Stereocenters alone do not guarantee that a molecule has an enantiomer.

• DiastereomerRelated: A meso molecule can be diastereomeric with a chiral stereoisomer of the same connectivity.

• StereoisomerismRelated: It demonstrates that stereogenic centers do not necessarily make a molecule chiral.

• Tartaric acidRelated: One tartaric acid stereoisomer is meso and therefore optically inactive.

• Optical isomerismCompared with: Its stereogenic centers do not make the whole molecule optically active.

• Absolute configurationCompared with: It shows that assigned center configurations do not by themselves establish whole-molecule chirality.

• RacemizationCompared with: A meso compound is optically inactive without being a racemate.

• StereocenterCompared with: Its stereocenters do not make the whole molecule chiral.
