Chirality is often discussed in chemistry as if it were a matter of degree: molecules are described as 'more' or 'less' chiral depending on the number of stereogenic elements, the magnitude of helical twist, or the extent of structural dist...

Raman Optical Activity (ROA) is emerging as a powerful analytical tool for the characterization of molecular chirality, offering complementary capabilities to established chiroptical and crystallographic methods. In particular, its ability ...
Molecular Chirality: From Structure to the Quantum Dynamics of Tunnelling, Parity Violation, a Molecular Quantum Switch and the Possible Astrophysical Detection of Homochirality as a Signature of Extraterrestrial Life [0.03%]

We briefly review the development of fundamental concepts in the current theory and experiments on molecular chirality, including the small effects arising from parity violating weak nuclear interaction. After a short summary of the history...

Monolayer-protected metal clusters in the size range between about 10 to 300 metal atoms are a special class of materials with strongly size-dependent behaviour, which is mainly ascribed to discrete electronic energy levels. It was observed...

Halide perovskites (HPs) have developed into a promising material platform for investigating spin-optoelectronic applications. A key obstacle for real-world implementation, however, is achieving long electron spin lifetimes under ambient co...
