Abstract
The use of words having different colored sides is a excellent way to introduce stereochemical concepts that might not be easily grasped when using molecular examples. We have found that concepts such as enantiomers, diastereomers, identical molecules, chirality, achirality, mirror planes of symmetry, and internal planes of symmetry are readily understood by students when using stereowordimer examples. Later, students successfully extend these concepts to the more complex stereochemistries found in molecules.

Jeremy A. Cody, Paul A. Craig, Adam D. Loudermilk, Paul M. Yacci, Sarah L. Frisco, and Jennifer R. MililloJournal of Chemical Education2012 89 (1), 29-33A novel stereochemistry lesson was prepared that incorporated both handheld molecular models and embedded virtual three-dimensional (3D) images. The images are fully interactive and eye-catching for the students; methods for preparing 3D molecular images ...
The Protocenter Concept: A Method for Teaching Stereochemistry
David E. LewisJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (6), 604-607The Protocenter Concept: A Method for Teaching Stereochemistry
David E. LewisJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (6), 604-607The protocenter, defined as an atom carrying two different attached groups in a nonlinear arrangement, is proposed as a concept useful for the introduction of chirality and geometric isomerism in introductory organic chemistry classes. Two protocenters ...
