| Abstract |
The preparation and characterization of a whole family of hydrated ionic co-crystals formed by both enantiopure L-proline and racemic DL-proline with LiX (X=CI, Br, I) are reported. The chiral preference of the lithium cation for homochiral coordination, both in the formation of crystalline conglomerates (with CI and Br) and racemates (with CI and I), in which molecules of opposite chirality are confined to distinct crystal layers, is discussed. Dehydration processes for all hydrated crystals have also been investigated. |
