Preferred Label : planar chirality;
IUPAC acronym : R;
IUPAC definition : Term used by some authorities to refer to stereoisomerism resulting from the arrangement
of out-of-plane groups with respect to a plane (chirality plane ). It is exemplified
by the atropisomerism of ( i E /i )-cyclooctene (chiral plane double bond and attached
atoms) or monosubstituted paracyclophane (chiral plane substituted ring). The configuration
of molecular entities possessing planar chirality is specified by the stereodescriptors
R p and S p (or P and M).;
