Fundamental Symmetry Aspects of Molecular Chirality

  • Chapter
New Developments in Molecular Chirality

Part of the book series: Understanding Chemical Reactivity ((UCRE,volume 5))

Abstract

Scientists have been fascinated by molecular handedness ever since the concept first arose as a result of the discovery of natural optical activity in the early years of the last century. This concept spawned major advances in physics, chemistry and biology and continues to catalyse scientific progress even today.
