Dear Netters,

thanks for responses which have already arrived 
to my posting about examples of CHIRAL molecules.

I felt I need to clarify a bit my question.
I asked for:
1) CHIRAL molecules;
2) which are preferably small,
   i.e. 4-8 atoms of the 1-3 row
   [the latter is because I want to make
    a RELIABLE ab initio calculation on them];
3) I know that most of biomolecules are chiral,
   but they are also large, aren't they?
4) a luxury would be a small (a)chiral molecule
   of atoms from 1-3 rows, which could have
   different CHIRAL conformers by means 
   of a simple rotation around one of the bonds.  

They (chiral molecules) are desired 
to be at least relatively stable,
a volatile phase is a good thing, references are 
welcome not only recent but also old (it turns out
that I can trace references with computer not only
backward but also forward, as I was taught
by e-mail which arrived from here, Zuerich!).

Surely, I will post a summary.
Eventually, I hope to be able to tell you
what are the parity-violating-energy-differences
(PVED's) for the enantiomers of molecules
you suggested. It's a tricky and fascinating thing.

Thanks to all, and I am eagerly awaiting
your suggestions.

With best regards,
Ayaz Bakasov.
