Chiral carbons are tetrahedral carbons bonded to four unique groups. At first glance, many carbons may look alike, but upon closer inspection, we can discern their differences.

Next, we turn our attention to those which have multiple chiral centers. We'll start with some stereoisomeric four-carbon sugars with two chiral centers.

Due to the fact that all groups that lack both $\sigma$ and $i$ also lack $S_n$ , a molecule that belongs to any group that lacks $S_n$ is chiral.

Like the square planar platinum complexes seen before, these compounds consist of metal ions with other atoms or groups bound to them. More information about the binding of ligands to metals is found in the section on Lewis acids and bases.
