On chiral pathways inE n: A dimensional analysis

  • Published:
Theoretica Chimica Acta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A dimensional analysis shows that all chiral labeled and unlabeled simplexes inE 2 and all maximally labeled simplexes in higher dimensions, are unique in that they can be partitioned into disjoint heterochiral sets. Such partition is impossible for all other labeled and unlabeledm-point sets (m ⩾n + 2) inE n, since they and their enantiomorphs are chirally connected.
