Chiral resolution and deracemization methods are central to the production of enantiopure substances, which are vital in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. These techniques address ...

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.

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS Researchers have developed a new method for precisely analyzing molecules' chirality. This method, known as ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have now demonstrated a simple and effective way to control the handedness of an inorganic ...

In trying to produce artificial chirality in the lab, chemists have found that the distribution of a magnetic field is itself chiral. Some molecules exist in two forms such that their structures and ...

C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Chirality is a property of objects that exist in different forms that are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed, like left hand and right hand. It is a common ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Noble metal nanoparticles like gold and silver have been extensively studied for their optical, electronic, and catalytic properties, which can be finely tuned by controlling ...
