Since the discovery of molecular chirality, nonsuperimposable mirror-image organic molecules have been found to be essential across biological and chemical processes and increasingly in materials science. Generally, carbon centers containing four different substituents are configurationally stable, unless bonds to the stereogenic carbon atom are broken and re-formed. Herein, we describe sp<sup>3</sup>-stereogenic carbon-bearing molecules that dynamically isomerize, interconverting between enanti ...[more]
