Spontaneous and Controlled Macroscopic Chiral Symmetry Breaking by Means of Crystallization

In this paper, macroscopic chiral symmetry breaking refers to as the process in which a mixture of enantiomers departs from 50–50 symmetry to favor one chirality, resulting in either a scalemic mixture or a pure enantiomer. In this domain, crystallization offers various possibilities, from the class...
