Conspectus Molecular chirality has been of scientific interest since 1848 when Pasteur
demonstrated its direct connection to the rotation of light by solutions of chiral compounds. In …

Predicting the adsorption structure of molecules has long been a challenging topic given the
coupled complexity of surface binding sites and molecule flexibility. Here, we develop …

Mechanisms for the spontaneous transformation of achiral chemical systems into states of
enantiomeric purity have important ramifications in modern pharmacology and potential …

The 2D Ising model is well-formulated to address problems in adsorption thermodynamics. It
is particularly well-suited to describing the adsorption isotherms predicting the surface …

Adsorption of chiral molecules on chiral surfaces implies diastereomerism, evident in the
adoption of distinct adsorption geometries. We show here that this diastereomerism …

A L-prolina é um aminoácido de origem natural, o qual se destaca devido a diversidade de
suas aplicações nas mais variadas áreas. Modificações na estrutura da L-prolina têm …
