Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of a single solid chiral state from a nearly racemic amino acid derivative.
Wim L. Noorduin,Toshiko Izumi,Alessia Millemaggi,Michel Leeman,Hugo Meekes,Willem J. P. van Enckevort,Richard M. Kellogg,Bernard Kaptein,Elias Vlieg,Donna G. Blackmond +9 more
TL;DR: Attrition-enhanced dissolution and recrystallization processes based on solubility considerations of the Gibbs−Thomson rule, coupled with solution-phase racemization, drive this near-equilibrium system inexorably to single chirality in the solid phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of solid phase homochirality for a proteinogenic amino acid.
TL;DR: The inexorable evolution of solid-phase single chirality is demonstrated for the first time for a proteinogenic amino acid both under attrition-enhanced conditions and without the aid of particle grinding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of solution-phase homochirality via crystal engineering of amino acids.
TL;DR: This work suggests a forerunner of modern crystal engineering that provides a general and facile mechanism for the evolution of homochirality as well as a conceptual advance for the separation of enantiomers of molecules forming racemic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Double Solubility Rule Holds for Racemizing Enantiomers
Toshiko Izumi,Donna G. Blackmond +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrate that the double solubility rule indeed holds true for the solution-phase enantiomers of a conglomerate-forming solid under fast-racemizing conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Mass Transfer within the Crystal-Solution Boundary Layer of l-Alanine {120} Faces Using Laser Interferometry during Growth and Dissolution
TL;DR: In this article , the authors measured the boundary layer thickness and concentration distribution of a single crystal face of l-alanine in saturated aqueous solutions during both growth and dissolution processes using a Mach-Zehnder optical interferometer system.
