Spontaneous deracemizations is a challenging, multidisciplinary subject in current chirality
research. In the absence of any chiral inductors, an achiral substance or a racemic …

Abstract Knowledge of the mesoscopic morphology of condensed phase domains formed
after the main phase transition in the two-phase coexistence region of Langmuir monolayers …

To study the possibility of controlling molecular assemblies such as monolayers by using
chirality, we synthesized 1-[1-(6-stearyl) pyrenyl] ethanol (SP6E), a novel amphiphilic …

The Brewster Angle Microscopy (BAM) is a powerful microscopy technique allowing the in
situ visualization of the morphology of Langmuir monolayers at the air/water interface. The …

Chiral discrimination is a phenomenon where one chiral molecule can distinguish the
identical molecule, the molecule which is its mirror image or a different chiral molecule. This …

The relationship of molecular chirality and biology is intriguing. Our curiosity prompts the
question as to why diverse natural biological molecules are overwhelmingly dissymmetric. Is …

Chiral interfaces and molecular recognition phenomena are of special interest not only for
the understanding of biological recognition processes but also for the potential application in …

Synthetic antitumor lipids are metabolically stable lysophosphatidylcholine derivatives,
encompassing a class of non-mutagenic drugs that selectively target cancerous cells. In this …

Recent experimental and theoretical studies on functional self-assemblies formed at
interfaces are presented and placed in perspective to earlier studies. The focus is on chiral …

The quantum-chemical semiempiric PM3 method is used to calculate the thermodynamic
parameters of clusterization for the racemic α-amino acids C n H2 n+ 1CHNH2COOH with …
