Notes:
Assuming the active molecule as a two-level system, we calculate the racemization, due to the tunneling effect, taking into account the effects of the weak interactions and of an external potential. We show that the weak interactions would block the tunneling racemization of enantiomers in compressed gases and liquids. Chirality 10:519-521, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
