Extensive work in this laboratory has been devoted to the study of intermolecular interactions from scattering experiments, in order to provide ingredients for modelling forces acting in systems involving hydrocarbons, the components of atmospheres, and water. Our detection of aligned oxygen in gaseous streams and further evidence on simple molecules has been extended to benzene and various hydrocarbons. Chiral effects can be seen in the differential scattering of oriented molecules, in particular from surfaces. It is pointed out that it may be of pre-biotical interest that we focus on possible mechanisms for chiral bio-stereochemistry of oriented reactants, for example when flowing in atmospheres of rotating bodies, specifically the planet earth, as well as in vortex motions of celestial objects. Molecular dynamics simulations and experimental verifications are in progress.
