Subject: chemistry (optical isomer related)
Dear colleagues,

I am translating a report with the Japanese title:
分別結晶法による光学分別における合理的な分割操作条件の設定
which comprises some critical expressions and
I feel I need some assistance.

1. The title of the article (from 1968)

What do you think of a translation as:

"(Selection of) rational (optimal?) conditions and
separation procedures in separation of optical isomers
by fractional crystallization"?

2. 溶解量
Is there a more handy expression than "dissolved amount"?


3. 2量体, 活性体, 両活性体

2量体 is different from 二量体 (dimer) and I consider it
to be an abbreviation for 二種の量体 or sth alike. In ,e.g.,
ラセミ体が溶解状態で2量体として挙動することはない。
it IMHO relates to the two optical isomers (enantiomers,
antipodes) comprised in the racemic mixture or racemate.
I assume that 量体 or simply 体 are Japanese renderings of
"mer" (as in iso*mer*, di*mer*, poly*mer* etc.) which
comes from Greek meros (or meris) with the meaning "part".

活性体 seems to express also one optical isomer of a
compound having two (or more?) varieties with different
optical properties, and 両活性体 seems to indicate the
two varieties in e.g. racemic mixture (e.g. L-体 and D-体).

With that background (I hope it is clear enough) how would you
call
2量体
活性体
両活性体
L-体
D-体
(Here are some candidates, but I do not know whether they are
or which of them would be appropriate: isomer, optical isomer,
enantiomer, (optical) antipode, or xyz)

I hope this is all what will come up for this article,
but who will know ...

TIA for your nice assistance,

Uwe Hirayama
