It feels very good to have been the editor who handled Soai's 1995 paper in Nature on autocatalytic amplification of an enantiomeric excess - now known as the Soai reaction. This seemed a curiosity at the time, but we clearly made the right call.

In addition to his pioneering work on chiral phosphine ligands, Henri B. Kagan was the first to quantify and explain nonlinear effects (NLEs) in catalytic asymmetric reactions. #ChemNobel #NobelPrize #chemsky 🧪

it was all hands (get it??) on deck for #ChemNobel coverage this morning--Henri Kagan and Henso Soai winning for work related to chiral catalysis was not on my bingo board but we love a good fundamental chem prize with big commercial apps over here! cen.acs.org/people/nobel...
