Molecular versus structural chirality

Massimo Nespolo

Summary: This paper provides a rigorous proof that any structure crystallizing in any of the 65 Sohncke types of space groups is necessarily chiral.

Symmetry and chirality in crystals

Massimo Nespolo et al.

Summary: A classification scheme linking the chirality of molecules to the type of crystal structures they may form is presented, with corrections and extensions made to similar classifications proposed in the past. The article addresses cases of chiral crystal structures formed from achiral molecules and includes examples of scalemic enantioenriched solutions that are absent from most classifications. In addition, chiral crystal structures from purely inorganic compounds are also explored.
