Comparison of chiral and racemic ketohexoses reveals packing differences affecting crystal density.
Racemic crystals are generally expected to exhibit higher densities than their enantiopure counterparts owing to complementary packing of enantiomers (Wallach's rule), yet the structural origin of its deviation in hydrogen-bonded...
