  • Chirality in the Plane
    Chirality in the plane Christian G. B¨ohmer1 and Yongjo Lee2 and Patrizio Neff3 October 15, 2019 Abstract It is well-known that many three-dimensional chiral material models become non-chiral when reduced to two dimensions. Chiral properties of the two-dimensional model can then be restored by adding appropriate two-dimensional chiral terms. In this paper we show how to construct a three-dimensional chiral energy function which can achieve two-dimensional chirality induced already by a chiral three-dimensional model. The key ingredient to this approach is the consideration of a nonlinear chiral energy containing only rotational parts. After formulating an appropriate energy functional, we study the equations of motion and find explicit soliton solutions displaying two-dimensional chiral properties. Keywords: chiral materials, planar models, Cosserat continuum, isotropy, hemitropy, centro- symmetry AMS 2010 subject classification: 74J35, 74A35, 74J30, 74A30 1 Introduction 1.1 Background A group of geometric symmetries which keeps at least one point fixed is called a point group. A point group in d-dimensional Euclidean space is a subgroup of the orthogonal group O(d). Naturally this leads to the distinction of rotations and improper rotations. Centrosymmetry corresponds to a point group which contains an inversion centre as one of its symmetry elements. Chiral symmetry is one example of non-centrosymmetry which is characterised by the fact that a geometric figure cannot be mapped into its mirror image by an element of the Euclidean group, proper rotations SO(d) and translations. This non-superimposability (or chirality) to its mirror image is best illustrated by the left and right hands: there is no way to map the left hand onto the right by simply rotating the left hand in the plane.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17807/orbital.v10i4.1057 Abstract: Pyrethroids are chiral insecticides characterized by stereoisomerism, which occurs due to the presence of one to three asymmetric (chiral) carbons, generating one or two pairs of cis/trans diastereomers, and two or four pairs of enantiomers. Diastereomers have equal chemical properties and different physical properties, while enantiomer pairs, have the same physicochemical properties, with exception by the ability to deviate the plane of polarized light to the right or to the left. However, stereoisomers exhibit different toxicities at the metabolic level, presenting enzyme and receptor selectivity in biological systems. Studies in aquatic organisms have shown that toxic effects are caused by specific enantiomers (1R-cis and 1R-trans) and that those cause potential estrogenic effects (1S-cis and 1S- trans). In this context, the same compound can have wide-ranging effects in organisms. Therefore, several studies have highlighted pyrethroid stereochemical selectivity in different environmental matrices. The analytical ability to distinguish the diastereomeric and enantiomeric patterns of these compounds is fundamental for understanding the processes of biotransformation, degradation environmental behavior and ecotoxicological impacts.

  • Chirality and Projective Linear Groups
    DISCRETE MATHEMATICS Discrete Mathematics 131 (1994) 221-261 Chirality and projective linear groups Egon Schultea,l, Asia IviC Weissb**,’ “Depurtment qf Mathematics, Northeastern Uniwrsity, Boston, MA 02115, USA bDepartment qf Mathematics and Statistics, York University, North York, Ontario, M3JIP3, Camda Received 24 October 1991; revised 14 September 1992 Abstract In recent years the term ‘chiral’ has been used for geometric and combinatorial figures which are symmetrical by rotation but not by reflection. The correspondence of groups and polytopes is used to construct infinite series of chiral and regular polytopes whose facets or vertex-figures are chiral or regular toroidal maps. In particular, the groups PSL,(Z,) are used to construct chiral polytopes, while PSL,(Z,[I]) and PSL,(Z,[w]) are used to construct regular polytopes. 1. Introduction Abstract polytopes are combinatorial structures that generalize the classical poly- topes. We are particularly interested in those that possess a high degree of symmetry. In this section, we briefly outline some definitions and basic results from the theory of abstract polytopes. For details we refer to [9,22,25,27]. An (abstract) polytope 9 ofrank n, or an n-polytope, is a partially ordered set with a strictly monotone rank function rank( .) with range { - 1, 0, . , n}. The elements of 9 with rankj are called j-faces of 8. The maximal chains (totally ordered subsets) of .P are calledJags. We require that 6P have a smallest (- 1)-face F_ 1, a greatest n-face F,, and that each flag contains exactly n+2 faces. Furthermore, we require that .Y be strongly flag-connected and that .P have the following homogeneity property: when- ever F<G, rank(F)=j- 1 and rank(G)=j+l, then there are exactly two j-faces H with FcH-cG.

  • Chirality in Chemical Molecules
    Chirality in Chemical Molecules. Molecules which are active in human physiology largely function as keys in locks. The active molecule is then called a ligand and the lock a receptor. The structures of both are highly specific to the degree that if one atom is positioned in a different position than that required by the receptor to be activated, then no stimulation of the receptor or only partial activation can take place. Again in a similar fashion if one tries to open the front door with a key that looks almost the same than the proper key for that lock, one will usually fail to get inside. A simple aspect like a lengthwise groove on the key which is on the left side instead of the right side, can mean that you can not open the lock if your key is the “chirally incorrect” one. The second aspect to understand is which molecules display chirality and which do not. The word chiral comes from the Greek which means “hand-like”. Our hands are mirror images of each other and as such are not identical. If they were, then we would not need a right hand and left hand glove. We can prove that they are not identical by trying to lay one hand on top of the other palms up. When we attempt to do this, we observe that the thumbs and fingers do not lie on top of one another. We say that they are non-super imposable upon one another. Since they are not the same and yet are mirror images of each other, they are said to exhibit chirality.

Interaction of light and matter If light enters matter, its intensity (amplitude), polarization, velocity, wavelength, etc. may alter. The two basic phenomena of the interaction of light and matter are absorption (or extinction) and a decrease in velocity. 3 16.11.2010 Interaction of light and matter Absorption means that the intensity (amplitude) of light decreases in matter because matter absorbs a part of the light. (Intensity is the square of amplitude.) Interaction of light and matter The decrease in velocity (i.e. the slowdown) of light in matter is caused by the fact that all materials (even materials that do not absorb light at all) have a refraction index, which means that the velocity of light is smaller in them than in vacuum.

  • Chapter 8. Chiral Catalysts José M
    Chapter 8. Chiral Catalysts José M. Fraile, José I. García, José A. Mayoral 1. The Origin of Enantioselectivity in Catalytic Processes: the Nanoscale of Enantioselective Catalysis. Enantiomerically pure compounds are extremely important in fields such as medicine and pharmacy, nutrition, or materials with optical properties. Among the different methods to obtain enantiomerically pure compounds, asymmetric catalysis1 is probably the most interesting and challenging, in fact one single molecule of chiral catalyst can transfer its chiral information to thousands or even millions of new chiral molecules. Enantioselective reactions are the result of the competition between different possible diastereomeric reaction pathways, through diastereomeric transition states, when the prochiral substrate complexed to the chiral catalyst reacts with the corresponding reagent. The efficiency of the chirality transfer, measured as enantiomeric excess [% ee = (R−S)/(R+S) × 100], depends on electronic and steric factors in a very subtle form. A simple calculation shows that differences in energy of only 2 kcal/mol between these transition states are enough to obtain more than 90% ee, and small changes in any of the participants in the catalytic process can modify significantly this difference in energy. Those modifications may occur in the near environment of the catalytic centre, at less than 1 nm scale, but also at longer distances in the catalyst, substrate, reagent, solvent, or support in the case of immobilized catalysts. This is the reason because asymmetric
