Metal cluster molecules are discrete compounds containing multiple metal atoms held together by metal–metal and metal–ligand ...

Axial chirality arises when restricted rotation about a molecular axis generates enantiomeric conformers known as atropisomers. Such stereochemical motifs are ubiquitous in biaryls, heterobiaryls and ...

In nature, there exist structures that are mirror images of each other but cannot be perfectly superimposed. These are known ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have conceived a strategy using chiral nickel catalysts to facilitate the carboboration of alkenes, generating high-value enantioenriched ...

A new method of distinguishing chiral molecules could eventually detect distortions inside quantum and soft materials, find ...

Like carbon and silicon, germanium’s lighter brethren on the periodic table, the metalloid can bond to four different groups, forming a chiral, tetrahedral molecule. Researchers at Nankai University ...

INTRICATE ROLES: Louisiana State's Isiah Warner notes that determining the side effects of enantiomers is not always a straightforward task. Unraveling the roles of enantiomers is not always ...

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 ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new superconductor with a chiral crystalline structure by mixing two materials, one with superconductivity but no chirality ...

This module has been designed to introduce second-year organic chemistry students to the concepts of stereochemistry through the lens of the World Health Organization’s Model List of Essential ...

The idea that you can take two different radicals and get them to react with one another without losing stereochemistry, ...

The asymmetric synthesis of chiral nitrogen compounds occupies a central role in modern organic chemistry owing to the prevalence of nitrogen-containing stereocentres in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals ...
