Chirality (physics)

  1. Chirality affects microcritical, not macrocritical, stability
    Analysis of periodic lattice metamaterials with rigid joints shows chirality affects microscale stability but not macroscale stability, enabling tailored critical mode activation.
  2. Chiral carbon-bonding donors showed asymmetric induction
    Carbon-bonding donors induce asymmetric induction via noncovalent interaction, demonstrated through oxa-Pictet-Spengler cyclization with oxocarbenium intermediates.
