Chemists and chemical engineers at California Institute of Technology, working with a pair of colleagues from the University ...

Zhang’s colleague Chun Tang explains that the closely packed structure of the catenane plays a key role in the process. ‘The ...

Innovation is driving the chiral chemicals market forward, with new technologies and processes making it easier and more cost-effective to produce enantiomerically pure compounds. One major ...

In contrast to auxiliary-based processes, catalytic asymmetric synthesis requires a much smaller quantity of chiral catalysts to impart chirality transfer. Part 2 of the book thus summarizes not ...

By modifying catalyst surfaces with chiral molecules such as DNA and peptides, it is possible to regulate electron spins, thereby affecting the efficiency and selectivity of catalytic reactions.

Researchers from ICMAB are revolutionizing how we manipulate light at the nanoscale using chiral plasmonic structures—nanomaterials designed to interact with polarized light in extraordinary ways.

Understanding and controlling chirality at the nanoscale is crucial for various applications, including drug development, catalysis, and materials science. Chiral Au nanorod and its helicity map that ...

A library of chiral vicinal diamines, most otherwise inaccessible, is efficiently built that can be applied as chiral catalysts, building blocks, and materials. In particular, chiral ...

Since essentially all syntheses of optically active compounds currently use optically pure catalysts or starting materials, chemists are dependent upon nature for their supply. New knowledge for ...
