Complexation between (1R,2S)-(+)-cis-1-amino-2-indanol (AI) and the two enantiomers of methyl lactate has been studied by means of laser-induced fluorescence, resonance-enhanced two-photon ionisation, and IR-UV double resonance spectroscopy, in the region of 3 microm. Two isomeric complexes have been spectroscopically characterised
Opposite signs of capacitive microsensor signals upon exposure to the enantiomers of methyl propionate compounds.

Odour perception in humans can sometimes discriminate different enantiomers of a chiral compound, such as limonene. Chiral discrimination represents one of the greatest challenges in attempts to devise selective and sensitive gas sensors. The importance of such discrimination for pharmacology
Nicole Borho et al.
Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP, 9(11), 1324-1328 (2007-03-10)
High resolution spectrum of methyl lactate, a chiral alpha-hydroxyester, has been investigated using a molecular jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. High level ab initio calculations were employed to study the conformational isomerism of methyl lactate. The observed rotational spectrum confirms
