Scheme 2.

Scheme 2

The four-step mechanism for the crystallization of homochiral 1D-Mn. The achiral Mn(adc) (2) crystals are formed first in the initial hours and can persist for days in the absence of camphoric acid. However, in the presence of D-camphoric acid, the achiral Mn(adc) is converted into enantioenriched chiral [Mn3(HCOO)4](adc).
