The investigation of the chirality of complex carbon-based molecules is one important task in various research fields, e.g. biology, pharmacy, chemistry. Physics is looking for examples, where parity is not maintained. State of the art methods allow only to identify the absolute configuration of crystal structured samples by x-rays.
We investigated the chirality of halothane (C2HBrClF3) by using synchrotron radation of various polarization. Halothane is a inhalatic general anesthetic and consists of one more carbon-atom than formerly used targets. Analyzing the fragments in a ColTRIMS set up (Cold Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectroscopy) can reveal information about the molecular structure. We are able to look at the different reaction channels (up to five ions) and identify the chirality of every ionized target-molecule.
