Abstract

The article describes the basic aspects of chirality, reflects on the origin of the chirality of chemical compounds and brings a view of the basic processes during deracemization. The article indicates the boundlessness of the topic of chirality, chiral coordination, association, and interaction, without making any entitlement to bring an exhaustive overview.
