Is it possible to extend the Cahn Ingold Prelog priority rules to supramolecular structures and coordination compounds using lone pairs?
Abstract In the Abstract of an article we published in Chirality, we wrote, "There are frequent situations in both supramolecular chemistry and crystallography that result in stereogenic centers whose absolute configuration needs to be specified. With this aim, we propose the inclusion of one simple additional rule to the Cahn Ingold Prelog (CIP) system of priority rules, stating that non covalent interactions have a fictitious number between 0 and 1" [1]
