The inner workings of asymmetric organometallic catalyst systems are not revealed to chemists every day, every week, or even necessarily every year. Studies to understand the detailed mechanisms of ...

A research team led by Associate Professor Changgui Zhao of Beijing Normal University reported the first intramolecular enantioselective, atropselective, and diastereoselective macrocyclization of ...

We formulate a two-dimensional lattice model to study the equilibrium phase behavior of a ternary mixture composed of two enantiomeric forms of a chiral molecule and a nonchiral liquid solvent.

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 ...

Photocatalysts facilitate chemical reactions by absorbing light. Metal-based photocatalysts are widely used in organic ...
