Illustration of four crystallization processes showing that the camphorate ligand not only controls the absolute chirality of crystals, but also enable and catalyze the growth of chiral crystals. The synthesis and crystallization were performed in mixed DMF/EtOH solvents at 120°C. The formate ligand was generated in situ from the solvent DMF.
