The thermodynamic stereoselectivity of a wide series of dipeptide complexes with proton and copper (II) ions is examined. In particular, it is shown that non-covalent interactions are the driving forces of the chirality discrimination. Furthermore, the diagnostic character of ΔH° and ΔS° values is brought to light and compared with the spectroscopy approach for correlating the stereoselectivity with the structural properties of complexes.
