Studies have shown that chiral MIMs can be constructed using achiral components by leveraging mechanical bonds the right way. Since the chirality appears solely from specific co-conformations ...

For a time, this was sufficient, as the focus of the analyses were achiral in nature. However, more and more cannabinoids being identified or used to challenge the legal status of Δ9 THC are chiral in ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like ...

The synthesis or separation of chiral compounds is crucial for many areas of chemistry, with chiral solids having important roles as catalysts or separating agents. This Review covers recent ...

Creating a chiral polymer from achiral monomers using a magnetic field by Bob Yirka , Phys.org Schematic and a proposed mechanism of the electropolymerization process of 2-vinylpyridine.

Achiral Alkenes to Chiral Aldehydes Highly productive hydroformylation reaction uses new phospholane ligands by Ann M. Thayer March 28, 2005 ...

A chiral molecule is first used as the template. Achiral (or non-chiral) nanoparticles are then assembled on this template, allowing them to mimic the structure of the chiral molecule.

These chiral electronic structures may rotate spontaneously, causing an orbital magnetic response associated to a behavior known as 'loop currents', as described by C. Mielke et al., Nature (2022), ...

Their work was published in Nature Communications ("Achiral hard bananas assemble double-twist skyrmions and blue phases"). Skyrmions typically arise from chiral interactions, that is, a molecular ...
