Abstract: | The selective preparation of an enantiomer starting from a pure state of H2POSH representing a 50%:50% mixture of two enantiomers with opposite chiralities is extended to its deuterated counterpart,
H2POSD. A one-dimensional model involving the torsional angle of S-H/D around a pre-oriented P-S axis is used. The design of
an appropriate sequence of ultrashort infrared laser pulses to achieve molecular handedness for H2POSH/D is based on the characteristic level splitting and tunneling times of both molecules. A simple scheme of two linearly
polarized laser pulses involving a three level system serves to convert the different isotopomers to opposite enantiomers,
for any given mixture of H2POSH and H2POSD molecules.
