Abstract
In this paper we present the analytical algorithm to calculate the sol
id angle of a collection of spheres in a hemisphere and quadrant. The
methodology is a reliable and useful measure of partial steric congest
ion and can readily be applied to chiral and pro-chiral molecules. Thi
s algorithm lays the foundation for the application of a steric measur
e to the prediction of diastereomeric and enantiomeric excess.
