Researchers developed a new method that allows, for the first time, to elucidate the chiral structure of molecules -- the exact spatial arrangement of the atoms -- by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) ...
A Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) research team has developed a catalytic enantioselective type II [5 + 2] cycloaddition method to address the challenges of synthesizing chiral ...

Scientists harness nature's chirality bias to design series of complex mechanically interlocked molecules
In nature, molecules often show a strong preference for partnering with other molecules that share the same chirality or handedness. A behavior that is quite evident in the phenomenon known as ...
A Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) research team led by Prof. SUN Jianwei and Prof. LIN Zhenyang from the Department of Chemistry has developed a catalytic enantioselective type ...

Iron and blue LEDs synthesize natural molecules, cutting the need for expensive chiral components
Photocatalysts facilitate chemical reactions by absorbing light. Metal-based photocatalysts are widely used in organic ...
New research describes how the modulation of the geometry of a helical reactor at a macroscopic level enables controlling the sign of chirality of a process at a nanometric scale, an unprecedented ...
Doubly stapled α-helix consisting only of achiral amino acids. Its one-handed form can be isolated because the interconversion between the right- and left-handed forms is almost completely suppressed.

A spintronic view of chiral molecules: Physicists verify chiral-induced spin selectivity effect
The role of electrons and their negative charge in electric current is well established. Electrons also exhibit other ...
A colour-changing compound that can precisely indicate the ‘enantiomeric excess’ (ee) of chiral molecules could provide a convenient method to measure pharmaceutical purity. Many molecular systems in ...
Modern chiral stationary phases allow rapid ER analysis and are applied to separate a wide range of chiral compounds. ER determination via chiral stationary phases allows facile assignment of absolute ...
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 ...
The ability to differentiate between two chiral enantiomers is important for chemical industries such as pharmaceutical companies, flavor/odor engineering, and forensic science. A new wave of chiral ...
