Slovak term or phrase: stereomér
ich tautoméry, ich stereoméry a soli

The nearest I've got is 'stereoizomer' in the Czech-English dictionary.

Stereomér, stereoizomér - do both these words exist in Slovak, and do they mean the same thing?

Explanation:
stereomer, stereoisomer exist also in English

Example sentence(s):
  • Stereoisomers are isomeric molecules that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but that differ only in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space
  • The four stereomer 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxy)-phenyl-1,2,3-propanetriols were obtained in about 30% yields starting from ferulic acid by a synthesis based on osmium catalyzed asymmetric dihydroxylation
