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, another with ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Asymmetric synthesis harnesses chiral catalysts and reaction design to create molecules in which one enantiomer predominates, a capability vital for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials ...

Chiral molecules present a particular challenge for analytical laboratories.Two enantiomers can share the same chemical ...

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 ...

Metals like rhodium and palladium are C–H activation aces, but these metals are rare and expensive. For several years, chemists led by Lutz Ackermann at the Georg August University Göttingen have been ...

The asymmetric synthesis of chiral nitrogen compounds occupies a central role in modern organic chemistry owing to the prevalence of nitrogen-containing stereocentres in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals ...
