COVER STORY Chirality in the Macromolecules |
| Argumenting about the origin of life, one of the most disputed questions is the
origin of molecular homochirality. Therefore, chirality is one of the
most challengeable research subjects in chemistry. The chemists engaged
in chirality are often excited by finding out some factors, which are
capable of explaining some aspects of homochirality related to the origin
of organic molecules. In recent times, the studies of chirality in polymer
science exhibited a remarkable progress producing a novel insight that
specially controlled physical conditions can develop molecular chirality
without any assistance of chiral molecules such as chiral catalysts.
In addition, some inorganic materials, including inorganic polymers and
metallic crystalline surface with topologically controlled chirality,
also gave us a new understanding in the field of non-molecular chirality.
In this edition, we highlight chiral topics from active chemists with
different views on chirality. （Editors : JIN, IYODA, AKIYOSHI,
