Popova, Maia; Bretz, Stacey Lowery; Hartley, C. Scott – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Although stereochemistry is an important topic in second-year undergraduate organic chemistry, there are limited options for laboratory activities that allow direct visualization of macroscopic chiral phenomena. A novel, guided-inquiry experiment was developed that allows students to explore chirality in the context of cholesteric liquid crystals.…
