Paul Schleyer sent me an email about a pattern he had spotted, between my post on F3SSF and some work he and Michael Mauksch had done 13 years ago with the intriguing title “Demonstration of Chiral Enantiomerization in a Four-Atom Molecule“.[cite]http://doi.org/d8g2nw[/cite] Let me explain the connection, but also to follow-up further on what I discovered in that post and how a new connection evolved.
