In work that could aid predictions of unknown molecules' spectroscopic and other physical properties, researchers have measured optical rotation by an achiral organic compound. A prevalent ...

Evolution of supramolecular chirality from self-assembly of achiral compounds and control over its handedness is closely related to the evolution of life and development of supramolecular materials ...

Chiral optical materials have attracted great attention in multiple disciplines due to their wide application value in fields such as remote sensing, three-dimensional display, information ...

Achiral molecules have now been assembled into a homochiral porous network at a solid–liquid interface. This has implications for practical processes such as separations, but also for understanding ...

Researchers at The University of Osaka have discovered a new type of chiral symmetry breaking (CSB) in an organic crystalline compound. This phenomenon, involving a solid-state structural transition ...

Adding organic solvents to the crystallization solution allowed the chiral inorganic compound cesium copper chloride (CsCuCl₃) to form single-handed (enantiopure) crystals. Among the water-miscible ...
