Chirality 1

A sci-fi masterpiece with gorgeous maidens, high-tech spacesuits and a compelling story! Carol, Shiori and Vic band together to battle deadly robots! Suggested for mature readers.

The only standard reference in this exciting new field combines the physical, chemical and material science perspectives in a synergic way. This monograph traces the development of the preparative methods employed to create nanostructures, in addition to the experimental techniques used to characterize them, as well as some of the surprising physical effects. The chapters cover every category of material, from organic to coordination compounds, metals and composites, in zero, one, two and three dimensions. The book also reviews structural, chemical, optical, and other physical properties, finishing with a look at the future for chiral nanosystems.

Although many books exist on the subject of chiral chemistry, they only briefly cover chiral synthesis and analysis as a minor part of a larger work, to date there are none that pull together the background information and latest advances in one comprehensive reference work. Comprehensive Chirality provides a complete overview of the field, and includes chiral research relevant to synthesis, analytic chemistry, catalysis, and pharmaceuticals. The individual chapters in each of the 9 volumes provide an in depth review and collection of references on definition, technology, applications and a guide/links to the related literature. Whether in an Academic or Corporate setting, these chapters will form an invaluable resource for advanced students/researchers new to an area and those who need further background or answers to a particular problem, particularly in the development of drugs. Chirality research today is a central theme in chemistry and biology and is growing in importance across a number of disciplinary boundaries. These studies do not always share a unique identifying factor or subject themselves to clear and concise definitions. This work unites the different areas of research and allows anyone working or researching in chiral chemistry to navigate through the most essential concepts with ease, saving them time and vastly improving their understanding. The field of chirality counts several journals that are directly and indirectly concerned with the field. There is no reference work that encompasses the entire field and unites the different areas of research through deep foundational reviews. Comprehensive Chirality fills this vacuum, and can be considered the definitive work. It will help users apply context to the diverse journal literature offering and aid them in identifying areas for further research and/or for solving problems. Chief Editors, Hisashi Yamamoto (University of Chicago) and Erick Carreira (ETH Zürich) have assembled an impressive, world-class team of Volume Editors and Contributing Authors. Each chapter has been painstakingly reviewed and checked for consistent high quality. The result is an authoritative overview which ties the literature together and provides the user with a reliable background information and citation resource.

Axially Chiral Compounds Explore this comprehensive and current volume summarizing the characteristics, synthesis, and applications of axial chirality Appearing widely in natural products, biologically active molecules, asymmetric chemistry, and material science, axially chiral motifs constitute the core backbones of the majority of chiral ligands and organocatalysts in asymmetric catalysis. In a new work of particular relevance to synthetic chemists, Axially Chiral Compounds: Asymmetric Synthesis and Applications delivers a clearly structured and authoritative volume covering the classification, characteristics, synthesis, and applications of axial chirality. A must read for every synthetic chemist practicing today, the book follows the development history, research status, and applications of axial chirality. An introductory chapter familiarizes the reader with foundational material before the distinguished authors describe the different classes and the synthesis of axial chiral compounds used in asymmetric synthesis. The book concludes with a focus on the applications of chiral ligands, chiral catalysts, and materials. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to asymmetric synthesis, including biaryls atropisomers, heterobiaryls atropisomers, and non-biaryls atropisomers Explorations of chiral allene, spiro skeletons, and natural products Practical discussions of asymmetric transformation, chiral ligands, and chiral catalysts An examination of miscellaneous applications of axially chiral compounds Perfect for organic chemists, chemists working with or on organometallics, catalytic chemists, and materials scientists, Axially Chiral Compounds: Asymmetric Synthesis and Applications will also earn a place in the libraries of natural products chemists who seek a one-stop reference for compounds exhibiting axial chirality.

Chiral materials have been studied in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Virginia for applications in areas like asymmetric catalysis, enantioselective fluorescent sensing, and optical/electrical materials. Optically active 1,1′-binaphthyl molecules are used to build novel chiral polymers, dendrimers, macrocycles, and acyclic molecules. 1,1′-Binaphthyl molecules are chosen because of their remarkably stable chiral configuration as well as their high asymmetric inductions in many processes.In this book, both the fundamental knowledge about the 1,1′-binaphthyl molecules and the synthesis of the structurally diverse 1,1′-binaphthyl-based materials are described. The applications of these materials in various fields are also discussed. This book will serve as a reference for graduate students as well as other professionals working in the related fields./a

Few times an unsolved issue in science has dealt with a larger number of approaches or theories intending to shed light on it and few times this has been done from so different, often orthogonal perspectives. This book covers a hot topic, one of the unsolved problems not just in chemistry, but in science

Adopting a novel approach to the topic by combining theoretical knowledge and practical results, this book presents the most popular and useful computational and experimental methods applied for studying the stereochemistry of chemical reactions and compounds. The text is clearly divided into three sections on fundamentals, spectroscopic and computational techniques, and applications in organic synthesis. The first part provides a brief introduction to the field of chirality and stereochemistry, while the second part covers the different methodologies, such as optical rotation, electronic circular dichroism, vibrational circular dicroism, and Raman spectroscopy. The third section then goes on to describe selective examples in organic synthesis, classified by reaction type, i.e. enantioselective, chemoselective and stereoselective reactions. A final chapter on total synthesis of natural products rounds off the book. A valuable reference for researchers in academia and industry working in the field of organic synthesis, computational chemistry, spectroscopy or medicinal chemistry.
