Chirality, the property of asymmetry wherein structures exist as non-superimposable mirror images, plays a central role in supramolecular chemistry. The self‐assembly of molecules into larger, ...

If we compare the right to the left hand, we can see these are specular images —that is, like symmetrical shapes reflected in a mirror— and they cannot superimpose on each other. This property is ...

A teacher from the popular ed-tech platform Physics Wallah has recently gone viral on social media for his incredibly unique approach to teaching the concept of chirality in chemistry. The online ...

The synthesized double-helical monometallofoldamers exhibiting controllable chirality switching can lead to the development of novel artificial supramolecular systems for molecular information ...

A team of chemists has made significant strides in the field of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). Their work showcases the development of a compact catenane with tuneable mechanical chirality ...

A research team from Prof. Benjamin List's department at the Max Planck Institut für Kohlenforschung has solved a long-elusive riddle of chemistry: the synthesis of stable, open-chain amines that ...

In a tetrahydrofuran/water solvent system with a water content of 70%, the toroidal topological structures formed by molecular assembly were observed via atomic force microscopy. As an important class ...
