Arthur Robertson Cushny, Scottish Pharmacologist, in 1908, first offered a definite example of a bioactivity difference between enantiomers of a chiral molecule viz.

The term 'chiral' was introduced by Lord Kelvin in 1904. KekulГ© used tetrahedral models earlier in 1862 but never published these Emanuele PaternГІ probably knew of these but was the first to draw and discuss three dimensional structures, such as of 1,2-dibromoethane in the Gazetta Chimica Italiana in 1893. In 1874, Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff and Joseph Le Bel explained optical activity in terms of the tetrahedral arrangement of the atoms bound to carbon. This property, the only physical property in which the two types of tartrate salts differed, is due to optical isomerism. Louis Pasteur could rightly be described as the first stereochemist, having observed in 1842 that salts of tartaric acid collected from wine production vessels could rotate the plane of polarized light, but that salts from other sources did not. Stereochemistry includes methods for determining and describing these relationships the effect on the physical or biological properties these relationships impart upon the molecules in question, and the manner in which these relationships influence the reactivity of the molecules in question ( dynamic stereochemistry). Stereochemistry spans the entire spectrum of organic, inorganic, biological, physical and especially supramolecular chemistry. ДЄn important branch of stereochemistry is the study of chiral molecules. For this reason, it is also known as 3D chemistry-the prefix 'stereo-' means 'three-dimensionality'. The study of stereochemistry focuses on stereoisomers, which by definition have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space. Stereochemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, involves the study of the relative spatial arrangement of atoms that form the structure of molecules and their manipulation. Stereochemistry focuses on stereoisomers.
