Early in the drug discovery process, it is necessary to begin studies on enantiomerically pure compounds due to the potential for unique efficacy and adverse effects associated with one enantiomer ...

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 ...

A University at Buffalo-led team has found a way to help chiral semiconductors (electronic materials whose structures are ...

Atropisomers are a class of stereoisomers (chemical compounds that differ in spatial arrangement of atoms) arising from restricted rotation around a single bond and have various applications in ...

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 ...

A University at Buffalo-led team has found a way to help chiral semiconductors, electronic materials whose structures are ...

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 ...

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 ...

A dopant molecule accepts electrons from a chiral perovskite host, enabling visible light absorption while preserving the ...

Many pharmaceuticals need to be a certain shape to fit into the binding pocket of the enzyme they target. Synthesizing molecules with the desired chirality requires controlled addition of functional ...
