AbstractPolarimetric observations demonstrated that all comets with significant values of circular polarization show predominantly left–handed circularly polarized light. We discuss the presence of homochiral organics in cometary materials as a source of the observed circular polarization. We have studied the effect of chirality on light–scattering properties of cometary dust considering particles that possess optical activity. Our investigations show that the cometary dust may include optically active materials which can be prebiological homochiral organics.

We demonstrate the simultaneous induction of chirality and enantiomeric excess from a prochiral azobenzene dimerviaa chiral regioisomer formedin situupon CPL irradiation.
