Preferred Label : chirality plane;
IUPAC definition : A planar unit connected to an adjacent part of the structure by a bond which results
in restricted torsion so that the plane cannot lie in a symmetry plane. For example
with ( i E /i )-cyclooctene the chiral plane includes the double bond carbon atoms
and all four atoms attached to the double bond; with a monosubstituted paracyclophane
the chiral plane includes the monosubstituted benzene ring with its three hydrogen
atoms and the three other atoms linked to the ring (i.e. from the substituent and
the two chains linking the two benzene rings).;
