We introduce here the description of central chirality for tetrahedral molecules using a geometrical approach based on complex numbers. According to this representation, for a molecule having n chiral centres, it is possible to define an index of chirality. Consequently a chirality selection rule has been derived which allows the characterization of a molecule as achiral, enantiomer or diastereoisomer.10 pagesChemical PhysicsHigh Energy Physics - TheoryGeometrical approach to central molecular chirality: a chirality selection ruletext
