AI Article Synopsis
- Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) demonstrates enantioselectivity by preferentially incorporating (S)-(-)-methylsuccinic acid (MeSuc) into its crystal structure, while barely incorporating the (R)-(+)-MeSuc form.
- This behavior shows that OCP can differentiate between the steric structures of different guest molecules.
- The study highlights the potential for chiral recognition in inorganic materials during three-dimensional crystal growth.
Article Abstract
Enantioselectivity by octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is revealed through the incorporation of (S)-(-)-methylsuccinic acid (MeSuc) into its crystal lattice, with hardly any (R)-(+)-MeSuc incorporated. This phenomenon clearly indicates that OCP recognizes the steric structures of guest molecules, extending chiral recognition in inorganic materials to three-dimensional crystal growth.
