Planar chirality, also known as 2D chirality, is the special case of chirality for two dimensions. Most fundamentally, planar chirality is a mathematical...

Homochirality is a uniformity of chirality, or handedness. Objects are chiral when they cannot be superposed on their mirror images. For example, the left...

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. When chemical reactions occur...
