Chirality plane

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002010",
  "term": "Chirality plane",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A plane in a molecule that contains three atoms, with a fourth atom lying outside the plane and being unable to rotate freely through it due to steric hindrance. This arrangement creates a chiral environment, as seen in certain ansa compounds or substituted ferrocenes. The plane itself is not a symmetry element.",
