Abstract

Chirality plays an important role in the formation and stability of noncovalent clusters which are made of chiral molecules. It is shown that clusters can exhibit a preference for both homochirality and heterochirality. Serine cluster formation is dominated by the formation of heterochiral aggregates, with the exception of the previously observed homochiral serine octamer. Thus, the majority of serine clusters lead to chiral anti-resolution, or the racemic mixing of enantiomers.
