Contains five contributions which analyze the origins of fullerene chirality with a systematic classification of structural types; a clear discussion of topological stereochemistry, including the catenanes, rotoxanes, and knots; ca formulation of a new system that can display the property of molecules to retain stereochemical information in spite of what appears to be stereorandomizing processes, as well as test the limits of competing racemization and reaction rates; a current, updated presentation of the rational design of non-natural resolving agents; and a chapter illustrating the most recent advances in the power of new methods for the stereocontrolled synthesis of chiral molecules. Each substantial chapter includes its own detailed table of contents. B&w line illustrations.
