racemate

[ rey-see-meyt, ruh- ]

nounChemistry.

Origin of racemate

First recorded in 1825–35; racem(ic acid) + -ate²

He scrutinized the crystals of sodium ammonium racemate obtained from aqueous solution.
An Introduction to the History of Science | Walter Libby
At a higher temperature, 35, sodium ammonium racemate undergoes decomposition into sodium racemate and ammonium racemate.
The Phase Rule and Its Applications | Alexander Findlay
Below the transition point, therefore, the solubility of the racemate is less than that of the mixed tartrates.
The Phase Rule and Its Applications | Alexander Findlay
As the latter are equally soluble, equal amounts of each will dissolve, and a further quantity of the racemate will be deposited.
The Phase Rule and Its Applications | Alexander Findlay
As, for instance, strychnine racemate, a compound of racemic acid with the optically active strychnine.
