What is Stereochemistry about?

This book contains a short history and account of stereochemistry : the study of the three-dimensional structure of molecules and of the relationships between the structure and properties of matter. This subject seems to us to make a particularly suitable introduction to the most important chemical problems of today. The successes of modern chemistry (by modern we mean the chemistry of the last 30-40 years) are directly related to the development of new theories of the forces which bond atoms to each other, and to the appearance of new, rapid and effective methods for the investigation of molecular structures. These factors have produced in the most recent genera- tion of chemists a new sensibility in which stereochemical aspects are useful not only for explaining a limited number of phenomena but also form a basis for the correct interpretation of the reactivity and properties of molecules. If one tries to enter into the heart of chemical phenomena, in particular if one wishes to take steps towards understanding the chemistry of the processes of life, it is necessary to seek the aid of the methods of stereochemistry in large measure ; it is necessary to think in three-dimensional
