amphicheiral

== Anglais == === Étymologie === (Date à préciser) Dérivé de cheiral, avec le préfixe amphi-. === Adjectif === amphicheiral \Prononciation ?\ (Stéréochimie) Achiral. My soul’s an amphicheiral knotUpon a liquid vortex wroughtBy Intellect, in the Unseen residing.And thine dost like a convict sitWith marlinspike untwisting itOnly to find its knottiness abiding;Since all the tools for its untyingIn four dimensioned space are lying,Wherein thy fancy interspersesLong avenues of universes,While Klein and Clifford fill the voidWith one finite unbounded homaloid,And think the Infinite is now at last destroyed. — (James Clerk Maxwell, “A Paradoxical Ode to Hermann Stoffkraft, Ph.D.”, 1878, cité par G. C., “The Life of Clerk Maxwell”, Nature, no. 680, vol. 27, 9 November 1882, p. 26-28) ==== Variantes ==== amphichiral ==== Synonymes ==== achiral
