Axial chirality arises when restricted rotation about a molecular axis generates enantiomeric conformers known as atropisomers. Such stereochemical motifs are ubiquitous in biaryls, heterobiaryls and ...

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 ...

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 ...

The synthesis of chiral molecules by biocatalysis harnesses the exquisite stereo- and regioselectivity of enzymes to prepare enantiomerically pure compounds under mild, environmentally benign ...

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 ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have conceived a strategy using chiral nickel catalysts to facilitate the carboboration of alkenes, generating high-value enantioenriched ...

C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...

Chirality, or "handedness," is a fundamental property of objects, from galaxies to molecules, and plays a crucial role in biological systems. However, chiral compounds in living organisms such as ...

SOMERVILLE, MA, UNITED STATES, May 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In the specialized fields of drug discovery and ...
