anisomeric
Definition
Adjective: - Not isomeric: "Anisomeric" describes a substance or compound that does not exhibit isomerism, meaning it does not have the same molecular formula as another compound but with a different arrangement of atoms. In chemistry, it refers to a situation where two or more compounds are not isomers of each other.
Usage Examples
- (They are not isomers.)
- (The chemist identified compounds that are not isomers.)
Advanced Usage
"anisomeric relationship": a relationship between chemical compounds that are not structural or stereoisomers.
- The study focused on the anisomeric relationship between the two polymers, highlighting their distinct properties. (They are not isomers, so their properties differ fundamentally.)
"anisomeric mixture": a mixture containing compounds that are not isomers.
- The reaction produced an anisomeric mixture of products, each with a unique molecular formula. (The products are not isomers of one another.)
Variants and Related Words
Isomeric (adj): having the same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms.

Isomer (n): a compound with the same molecular formula as another but a different structure.
