Point groups with this property cannot contain improper rotation symmetry, and include Cn [c-sub-n].
Point groups with this property cannot contain improper rotation symmetry, and include Cn [c-sub-n]. Complexes containing three bidentate ligands will have this property, and can undergo processes named for Bailar, or Ray and Dutt. This property is possessed by the Evans auxiliary, which is used in asymmetric induction to synthesize molecules with this property. Molecules with this property can be studied with (*) circular dichroism spectroscopy. The presence of this property is necessary for optical activity. Carbon atoms only have this property when all four groups they are bonded to are different. Molecules with this property possess isomers called enantiomers. For 10 points, name this property of having a non-superimposable mirror image, coming from the Greek for "handedness."
