An overview of the importance and consequences of asymmetry from molecules to the macroscopic world As scientists have become more capable of probing the struct

The world is chiral. Most of the molecules in it are chiral, and asymmetric synthesis is an important means by which enantiopure chiral molecules may be obtaine

Thorough and up-to-date, this book presents recent developments in this exciting research field. To begin with, the text covers the fabrication of chiral nanoma
