We revisited Pasteur's crystallization based chiral separation and obtained >90% pure L-glutamic acid by using a D-penicillamine self-assembled monolayer as the resolving auxiliary and manually removing enantiopure crystals identified through Raman microscopy. Identical conditions in bulk solutions yielded only racemic crystals.
