  7. Modern definitions of Chirality • IUPAC: The geometric property of a rigid object (or spatial arrangement of point or atoms) of being non-superposable by pure rotation and translation on its image formed by inversion through a point; the symmetry group of such an object contains no symmetry operations of the second kind ( 1, m, 3, 4, 6). When the object is superposable by pure rotation and translation on its inverted image, the object is described as being achiral; the symmetry group of such an object contains symmetry operations of the second kind. • Barron: True chirality is exhibited by systems that exist in two distinct enantiomorphic states that are interconverted by space inversion by not by time reversal combined with any proper spatial rotation.
