Chiral vs. Achiral: Definition & Examples Lesson Transcript Instructor Nancy Devino Cite this lesson Chirality is the right or left 'handedness' of an object. A chiral object can't be superimposed on its mirror image, while an achiral object can be superimposed on its mirror. This lesson ...

The efficiency of charge transmission in chiral compared to achiral molecular systems, of structurally related compounds, is probed via cyclic voltammetry measurements. For such a purpose five different thiols have been selected two achiral (i.e. 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) and 8-mercapto-1-...

The NMR of the products from the above Examples indicated that the urea from the non-chiral isomer 4,4'-diaminobiphenyl-3,3'-disulfonic acid appears spectroscopically as a single material, whereas 4,4'-diaminobiphenyl-2,2'-disulfonic acid consisted of two compounds, a pair of diastereomers,...
Origins of stereoselectivity in ROP of racemic chiral cyclic esters promoted by achiral yttrium complexes, resulting in the formation of highly heterotactic polylactide, and highly syndiotactic or, more uniquely, highly isotactic poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)s, are discussed. A close interplay between the nat...

Keywords: carbon nanotubes; chiral separation; achiral separation; single-walled carbon nanotubes; multi-walled carbon nanotubes 1. Introduction Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon usually referred to graphite sheets which mainly consist of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms. They are wrapped into...
Keywords: chiral stationary phase; cellulose; amylose; position isomer; achiral; chromatography; simulation 1. Introduction The urethanes and esters of polysaccharides, particularly of cellulose and of amylose, are well accepted as a class of the most potent chiral selectors [1–3]. We, in the ...
