Our scheme utilizes techniques from strong-field laser physics, specifically an optical centrifuge in conjunction with a static electric field, to create a chiral field with defined handedness. Molecular enantiomers experience unique rotational excitation dynamics and this can be exploited to spatially separate the enantiomers using electrostatic deflection. Notably, the rotational-state-specific enantiomeric enhancement and its handedness is fully controllable. To explain these effects, we introduce the conceptual framework of $field\\text{-}induced~diastereomers$ of a chiral molecule and perform robust quantum mechanical simulations on the prototypical chiral molecule propylene oxide (C$_3$H$_6$O), for which ensembles with an enantiomeric excess of up to $30~\\%$ were obtained.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1905.07166v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.07166v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"field-induced-diastereomers-for-chiral","repo_url":"https://github.com/cfel-cmi/richmol","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
