The spontaneous resolution of enantiomers is an intriguing and important phenomenon in a number of research areas. Non-covalent interactions can play a key role in the process which can now be observed not only in crystals, but in liquid crystals, self-assembled monolayers, self-assembled fibres, and supramolecules self-assembled in solution. The evidence gathered in all of these areas is important for explaining the transfer of chirality from molecule to bulk, and in particular the spontaneous resolution of enantiomers.
