Researchers at the University of St Andrews have uncovered a long‑elusive molecular "reshuffle," a breakthrough that tackles ...

A team of chemists has made significant strides in the field of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). Their work showcases the development of a compact catenane with tuneable mechanical chirality ...

Chirality, the property of asymmetry wherein structures exist as non-superimposable mirror images, plays a central role in supramolecular chemistry. The self‐assembly of molecules into larger, ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto ...

Halogen bonds were first proposed as an activating interaction in 2008, but this alternative type of organocatalysis was ...

Scientists at the University of St Andrews have discovered a molecular “reshuffle”, a breakthrough that addresses a major ...

What sets CNTs apart is the concept of chirality. The production of CNTs can follow either a chirality-controlled or a non-chirality-controlled process, such as armchair, zigzag, or chiral. For ...

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 ...

Sometimes the difference between life-saving drug and deadly side effect is chirality. L-DOPA is the best drug we have for Parkinson’s disease. If you take L-DOPA and reflect it in a mirror, you get a ...

A team of chemists from The University of Hong Kong (HKU), in collaboration with international scientists, has made significant strides in the field of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). Their ...
