Abstract
An explanation for the racemic modification is put forward using computer simulation to quantify the statistical correlation between a molecule's centre-of-mass translational velocity and its own angular momentum when immersed in an ensemble of like or mirror-image enantiomers. It is illustrated with bromochlorofluoromethane and t-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane.Keywords
