Metastability in supersaturated solution and transition towards chirality in the crystallization of NaClO3
Analysis of the chiral composition of the crystal mixture obtained from samples of boiling solutions of NaClO3 (see picture) indicates that symmetry breaking towards homochiral compositions may begin in the metastable stage preceding crystallization, that is, at the level of subcritical clusters.
