Asymmetric synthesis and catalysis have been actively pursued in chemical and materials sciences. Increasing numbers of drugs and pesticides contain chiral structural units in their structures since ...

The chirality of enantiomers can be the sole distinguishing factor between beneficial and harmful medications, and between active and non-active enantiomers that may comprise up to half of a product.

Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral solids, for example, offer exciting opportunities for catalysis, sensing and ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...
