Can a Non-Chiral Object Be Made of Two Identical Chiral Moieties?
Jean François LeMaréchal
Université de Lyon, École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, Lyon, France 69364

March 2008
Vol. 85 No. 3
p. 433
Abstract
Several pedagogical objects can be used to discuss chirality. Here, we use the cut of an apple to show that the association of identical chiral moieties can form a non-chiral object. Octahedral chirality is used to find situations equivalent to the cut of the apple.
