Achiral (non-chiral) molecules acting as a control didn’t show similar results, proving the impact of chirality. “Our research offers a novel framework for molecular design in SF research and ...

1.4 Lecture (20 minutes in class). Slides over the importance of chirality with historical examples and applications. 1.5 Unit 1 homework (20 minutes outside class). Problems on identifying chiral and ...

The molecules responsible for optical activity are chiral, meaning that they cannot be superimposed on their mirror images — of which the human hand is a paradigm example. For this reason ...
