Chiral surfaces: accomplishments and challenges.

Chiral surfaces serve as media for enantioselective chemical processes. Their chirality is dictated by atomic- and molecular-level structure, and their enantioselectivity is determined by their enantiospecific interactions with chiral adsorbates. This Perspective describes three types of chiral metal surfaces: those modified by adsorption of chiral molecules, those templated by chiral lattices ...
