Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Chiral Crystallization and Soai Autocatalytic Reaction
Abstract
Complete chiral crystallization and absolute chiral synthesis are both fascinating phenomena shedding light on the possible origins of homochirality in nature and opening perspectives for efficient preparations of optically pure materials. Originally these two phenomena have been considered mechanistically quite different belonging to the hetero- and homogeneous systems, respectively. However, the results of the active research in both fields undertaken in the last few years suggest that there may be a much closer likeness of the most important mechanistic features of these two phenomena. In the present review, we bring together the latest data on the complete chiral crystallization and absolute chiral synthesis including our own data on the mechanism and spontaneous break of chirality in the Soai asymmetric autocatalysis.

Viedma's results can provide a more prebiotically plausible extension, indicating how essentially chiral molecules would be formed through conglomerate solids.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
