Homochirality beyond grinding: deracemizing chiral crystals by temperature gradient under boiling
A single-chirality solid phase can be obtained in boiling solutions containing a racemic mixture of left- and right-handed enantiomorphous crystals due to dissolution–crystallization cycles induced by a temperature gradient. This phenomenon provides further insights into asymmetric amplification mec...

| Sumario: | A single-chirality solid phase can be obtained in boiling solutions containing a racemic mixture of left- and right-handed enantiomorphous crystals due to dissolution–crystallization cycles induced by a temperature gradient. This phenomenon provides further insights into asymmetric amplification mechanisms under presumably prebiotic conditions. |
