The central carbon atom in this molecules is linked to two different ligands and to an enantiomeric pair of ligands (ligands which are mirror images of each other),i.e., it may be written as `C(+a)(-a) bc` or `C(+a)(+a)bc`. Sucn an atom is said to be pseudoasymmetric when it has the form `C(+a) (-a) bc`.
