The strength of a coupling between nuclear spins depends on chirality, or handedness, of the molecule, according to a new study by researchers at UCLA, Arizona State University, Penn State, MIT and ...

Chirality, a property where structures have a distinct left- or right-handedness, allows natural semiconductors to move charge and convert energy with high efficiency by controlling electron spin and ...

Chemists have synthesized the first stable molecule whose chirality is solely attributed to a stereogenic oxygen, according to a new study (Nature 2023, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-05719-z). Though carbon ...

Chirality -- a geometric property that allows molecules to exist in two distinct forms that are chemically identical but are 3D mirror images of each other, like a right and left hand -- has a ...

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral organogermanes. The scheme shows different chirality types: carbon stereogenic centers (α, β, γ), a germanium‑stereogenic center, axial chirality, planar ...

Chirality sensing in molecular systems encompasses techniques designed to distinguish and quantify enantiomers—mirror-image forms of chiral compounds that often display markedly different biological ...

The recognition of chirality in bioactive molecules is as old as modern organic chemistry itself. Pioneering work by Jean-Baptiste Biot, Louis Pasteur, Emil Fischer, and J. vant Hoff established ...

Schematic diagram of two N 2-participated metal‑mediated catalytic cycles (oxidative addition and metal carbene routes) for the construction of functionalized organic molecules. Efficient synthesis of ...
