Quantum interference distinguishes between constitutional isomers
arXiv:1405.5021 · doi:10.1039/c0cc00125b
Abstract
Matter waves, as introduced by de Broglie in 1923, are a fundamental quantum phenomenon, describing the delocalized center of mass motion of massive bodies and we show here their sensitivity to the molecular structure of constitutional isomers.
