Enantiomerization of Axially Chiral Biphenyls: Polarizable MD Simulations in Water and Butylmethylether.

In this study, we investigate the influence of chiral and achiral cations on the enantiomerization of biphenylic anions in -butylmethylether and water. In addition to the impact of the cations and solvent molecules on the free energy profile of rotation, we also explore if chirality transfer between a chiral cation and the biphenylic anion is possible, i.e.
