Abstract:Predicting the crystallization behavior of solutions of chiral molecules is a major challenge in the chemical sciences. In this paper, we use molecular dynamics computer simulations to study the crystallization of a family of coarse-grained models of chiral molecules with a broad range of molecular shapes and interactions. Our simulations reproduce the experimental crystallization behavior of real chiral molecules, including racemic and enantiopure crystals, as well as amorphous solids. Using efficient algorit… Show more
