We demonstrate a natural mechanism in which, under certain conditions, one molecular type (e.g. an enantiomer) moves towards one direction, while the other – in the opposite one, separating them. This might be of importance due to e.g. a fact that all living...
A new metal-organic framework composed of zinc ions and tripeptide molecules was synthesised in our group and shown to adopt nine distinct crystal structures in a variety of solvents. We exploited this, using mixtures of solvents to control the crystal structure to...
