| Dec 29, 2016 at 13:33 | comment | added | Zhe | That, I agree with, especially since $C_{2v}$ is not the important symmetry element to look at. | |
| Dec 29, 2016 at 3:22 | comment | added | Max Hoffman | In the trivial example of two perpendicular and symmetric biphenyls, simple works quite well. I wasn't suggesting point group theory isn't useful, but in my opinion the poster should lock down what chiral means before learning what a C2v axis is. | |
| Dec 29, 2016 at 3:12 | comment | added | Zhe | You're assuming that biphenyl's twist is $90^{\circ}$. If it's less than that, the molecule is axially chiral... Chirality has a simple definition but that doesn't always translate to a simple scenario. That's why Elial's book is so damn thick. | |
