Stepping up : Density functional calculations indicate that small molecules, such as propylene oxide, chemisorb in an enantiospecific manner on intrinsically chiral, stepped Cu surfaces. As an example, the preferential adsorption configurations for the ( S )‐ (right) and ( R )‐amino(fluoro)methoxy species (left) on Cu(874) S are shown.
