During the XIXth century, France has been the theater of many discoveries in stereochemistry thanks to prestigious physicists, chemists, and crystallographers. Among them, Louis Pasteur is certainly the father of molecular chirality (the so-called molecular dissymmetry), and because of the exceptionally favored conditions of his famous discovery on the resolution of tartrates, his findings have often been attributed to serendipity. But let us not forget that “in the fields of observation, chance only favors the prepared minds.”

巴斯德和手性:一个关于机缘巧合如何有利于有准备的头脑的故事

在十九世纪,由于著名的物理学家、化学家和晶体学家,法国一直是立体化学许多发现的舞台。其中,路易斯·巴斯德无疑是分子手性(所谓的分子不对称性)之父,由于他在解决酒石酸盐这一著名发现中的特殊条件,他的发现常常被归咎于偶然性。但我们不要忘记,“在观察领域,机会只偏爱有准备的头脑。”
