Abstract
The study introduces a novel C3-symmetric β-diketone compound, BTA-D3, and its monomeric counterpart, D, with a focus on their synthetic procedure, photophysical properties and aggregation behavior. Both compounds exhibit characteristic absorption and weak fluorescence in solution, with BTA-D3 displaying higher absorption coefficients due to its larger number of diketone units. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations suggest increased co-planarity of diketone groups in BTA-D3. A significant finding is the Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) property of BTA-D3, as its fluorescence intensity increases dramatically when exposed to specific solvent ratios. The AIE behavior is attributed to intermolecular excitonic interaction between BTA-D3 molecules in self-organized aggregates. We also studied fluorescence anisotropy of BTA-D3 and D. Despite its larger size, BTA-D3 showed reduced anisotropy values because of efficient intramolecular energy migration among three diketone units. Furthermore, BTA-D3 demonstrates unique polymorphism, yielding different emission colors and structures depending on the solvent used. A unique approach is presented for promoting the growth of self-organized aggregate structures via solvent evaporation, leading to distinct fluorescence properties. This research contributes to the understanding of C3-symmetric structural molecules and provides insights into strategies for controlling molecular alignment to achieve diverse fluorescence coloration in molecular materials.

Abstract
Enantiomorphous crystals of achiral 2-pyridone and 4-aminopyridine served as sources of chirality, to induce the asymmetric autocatalysis of 5-pyrimidyl alkanol during the asymmetric addition of diisopropylzinc to the corresponding pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde, that is, the Soai reaction. Following a significant amplification of enantiomeric excess through asymmetric autocatalysis, highly enantioenriched 5-pyrimidyl alkanol could be synthesized with their corresponding absolute configurations to those of chiral crystals of 2-pyridone and 4-aminopyridine.

Abstract
Young's double-slit interference experiments with undulator vortex radiation were conducted, focusing on photon-counting regime. To isolate the second harmonic radiation in the ultraviolet range emitted from the helical undulator and achieve successful counting measurements, an ultranarrow bandpass filter was utilized under an extremely low-current mode of the electron storage ring. It was observed that the photon spots on the detector, after passing through the double slits, appeared to be randomly distributed. However, upon integrating these photon spots, it was confirmed that interference fringes with characteristic features of optical vortices, such as dark and broken/distorted stripes in the center, were formed. The reproducibility of these interference fringes was confirmed by calculating the optical path difference for the optical vortex reaching the double slits, as well as the optical path difference resulting from normal double-slit interference. Consequently, these findings indicate that even in the state of a single photon, the radiation emitted spontaneously by a high-energy electron in spiral motion possesses the nature of an optical vortex, characterized by a spiral wavefront.

Abstract
Conglomerate crystals are materials capable of undergoing spontaneous resolution and were responsible for the discovery of molecular chirality. Their relevance to modern chemical and crystallographic sciences has been hindered by the difficulty in identifying and searching materials with this characteristic ability to spontaneously bias their own enantioenrichment. With the release of the November 2021 distribution of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) (version 5.43), a fresh quantity of chiral conglomerate crystals is expected to have been published in the CSD without identification. Indeed, no crystals in the CSD have been identified as a spontaneously resolving conglomerate crystal in their crystallographic information file since the 2019 release, despite the deposition of over 108,000 new crystal structures into the database over the same time period. A manual inspection of crystals deposited between 2020 and 2021 was conducted to identify 343 new chiral materials which exhibit conglomerate crystallization behavior. It is hoped that the continued manual curation of this list will aid those in the crystallographic and synthetic communities to study and exploit this spontaneous enantioenrichment behavior.

Abstract
Related to absolute asymmetric synthesis, a stereospecific reaction at the solid/solid interface arising from crystal chirality of the achiral or racemic substrates has not yet been reported. Here, we demonstrate the asymmetric Strecker-type solid/solid reaction between the chiral crystal of a racemic cyanohydrin (kryptoracemate) and the achiral crystal of an ammonium salt to afford highly enantioenriched α-aminonitrile in combination with amplification of chirality. rac-Cyanohydrin provides its chiral surface as a reactive site and the reaction proceeds with dissociation of cyanohydrin; thus, an asymmetric Strecker-type reaction takes place at the interface of the substrate crystals. Strecker synthesis coupled with cyanohydrin synthesis offers a credible abiotic synthesis mechanism of α-amino acids and α-hydroxy acids. For the first time, stereochemical relationship has been found between the two chiral intermediates, aminonitrile and cyanohydrin, which are in equilibrium in the synthesis mechanism.

Abstract
Amplification of enantiomeric excesses (ee) is routinely observed during chiral crystallization of conglomerate crystals for which the enantiomers undergo racemization in solution. Although routes comprising a combination of crystal growth and dissolution are frequently used to obtain enantiopure molecules, crystal growth by itself has rather been considered as a source of enantiomeric erosion and discounted as a potential source of enantiomeric amplification. Counterintuitively, we here demonstrate striking enantiomeric amplification during crystal growth for clopidogrel and tert-leucine precursors. Based on a mechanistic framework, we identify that the interplay between racemization and crystal growth rates elicits this surprising effect. The asymmetric amplification of the solid-phase ee can be enhanced by increasing the mass of grown material relative to the product such that small amounts of seeds of only 60% ee already result in virtually exclusive growth of the majority phase. These results impact our understanding of asymmetric amplification mechanisms during crystallization and offer a tangible basis for practical production of enantiopure molecules.

Abstract
Conglomerate crystallization is the spontaneous generation of individually enantioenriched crystals from a nonenantioenriched material. This behavior is responsible for spontaneous resolution and the discovery of molecular chirality by Pasteur. The phenomenon of conglomerate crystallization of chiral organic molecules has been left largely undocumented, with no actively curated list available in the literature. While other crystallographic behaviors can be interrogated by automated searching, conglomerate crystallizations are not identified within the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and are therefore not accessible by conventional automated searching. By conducting a manual search of the CSD and literature, a list of over 1800 chiral species capable of conglomerate crystallization was curated by inspection of the racemic synthetic routes described in each publication. The majority of chiral conglomerate crystals are produced and published by synthetic chemists who seldom note and rarely exploit the implications this phenomenon can have on the enantiopurity of their crystalline materials. With their structures revealed, we propose that this list of compounds represents a new chiral pool which is not tied to biological sources of chirality.

Abstract
A chiral structure is formed by the optical radiation force induced by a circularly polarized light that has spin angular momentum; chiral structures are expected to be used for light control devices and molecular chirality discrimination devices. In this paper, we clarify the relationship between the differences in the distributions of the optical radiation force and the possibility of formation of chiral structures. We first simulate the optical radiation force distribution in the case of a Gaussian beam that successfully forms a chiral structure. Given a vector \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Abstract
It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules underlies enantioselective recognition as a fundamental phenomenon regulating life and human activities. Thus, noncovalent interactions represent the narrative thread of a fascinating story which goes across several disciplines of medical, chemical, physical, biological, and other natural sciences. This review has been conceived with the awareness that a modern attitude toward molecular chirality and its consequences needs to be founded on multidisciplinary approaches to disclose the molecular basis of essential enantioselective phenomena in the domain of chemical, physical, and life sciences. With the primary aim of discussing this topic in an integrated way, a comprehensive pool of rational and systematic multidisciplinary information is provided, which concerns the fundamentals of chirality, a description of noncovalent interactions, and their implications in enantioselective processes occurring in different contexts. A specific focus is devoted to enantioselection in chromatography and electromigration techniques because of their unique feature as "multistep" processes. A second motivation for writing this review is to make a clear statement about the state of the art, the tools we have at our disposal, and what is still missing to fully understand the mechanisms underlying enantioselective recognition.

Abstract
Chirality plays an important role in understanding of the chiral light-matter interaction. In this work, we study theoretically and numerically the chirality of optical vortex beams reflected from an air-chiral medium interface. A theoretical model that takes into full account the vectorial nature of electromagnetic fields is developed to describe the reflection of optical vortex beams at an interface between air and a chiral medium. Some numerical simulations are performed and discussed. The results show that the chirality of the reflected vortex beams can be well controlled by the relative chiral parameter of the medium and is significantly affected by the incidence angle, topological charge, and polarization state of the incident beam. Our results provide new, to the best of our knowledge, insights into the interactions between optical vortex beams with chiral matter, and may have potential application in optical chirality manipulation.

Abstract
We developed a chiral symmetry breaking method for monoacylated meso diols. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of monoacylated 1,4-anhydroerythritols, meso cyclic diols with a cis configuration, revealed that the O-(p-anisoyl) derivative crystallized as a racemic conglomerate of the P21 21 21 crystal system. It was confirmed that the substrate racemized by intramolecular transfer of the acyl group in the presence of a catalytic amount of base. Evaporating the solvent gradually from the solution or Viedma ripening to promote crystallization-induced deracemization efficiently led to enantiomer crystals. These results provide the first successful example of asymmetric expression and amplification by deracemization of sugar derivatives without an external chemical chiral source. Furthermore, we applied this methodology to acyclic meso-1,2-diols. Three O-monoacylated substrates were successfully deracemized to 99 % ee by Viedma ripening. We also developed asymmetric desymmetrization of meso-1,2-diols by combining acylation and crystallization-induced deracemization.

Abstract
Introduction of chiral ligands has been regarded as an effective strategy to obtain nanoclusters with optical purity. However, how the chiral ligands work is still unclear due to the lack of structural comparison between racemic nanoclusters and the corresponding optically active ones. In this work, three structurally related Au24Cd2 nanoclusters, including one racemic and two homochiral nanoclusters, were synthesized, and their crystal structures were characterized using single-crystal X-ray crystallography (SC-XRD). Based on their crystal structures, the origin of the chirality in Au24Cd2 was found to be the twist of the kernel and the chiral arrangement of the metal-ligand surface. Au24Cd2 protected with chiral ligands exhibits a more twisted kernel than the racemic one. Therefore, the chirality of chiral diphosphine was found to transfer from the ligands to the metal-ligand interface and then to the metal core, inducing its distortion to produce enhanced chirality. In addition, the optical properties including optical absorption and circular dichroism of these structurally related Au24Cd2 nanoclusters were compared.

Abstract
Chirality represents a fundamental structure in nature, the induction and reversible modulation of supramolecular chirality with feasible techniques is of great value in the design of new chiroptical smart materials. Herein, two kinds of azobenzene side-chain polymers (without spacer: Azo-PMA0; with 6 spacers: Azo-PMA6) were synthesized, the length of spacer and azobenzene chromophores play a vital role in chirality transfer and modulation. The supramolecular chiral arrangement of Azo-PMA0 (amorphous phase) can be completely controlled and reversibly modulated over multiple cycles by 450 nm circularly polarized light (CPL) driven by the supramolecular interaction between azo groups of polymer chains, with an absorption dissymmetry factor (g) value of 0.0019. The chiroptical properties of Azo-PMA6 (liquid crystal state) can also be reversibly modulated by UV light and thermal annealing treatment during trans-cis isomerization of azo chromophore, with the g-value changes from 0-0.038. The successful construction of reversible chiral induction and modulation based on side chain azobenzene polymers may pave the way for designing photo-switchable functional materials.

Abstract
Asymmetric synthesis was performed by combining the photochemical reaction of an achiral substrate followed by crystallization-induced deracemization. The results indicated that a fused indoline produced by photochemical intramolecular δ-hydrogen abstraction and cyclization of N-(5-chloro-2-methylphenyl)phthalimide crystallized as a racemic conglomerate. Since this substrate has an aminal skeleton, racemization involving a ring-opening and ring-closing equilibrium process occurred under suitable conditions. Efficient racemization was observed in acetone containing a catalytic base, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). Crystallization-induced dynamic deracemization by Viedma ripening from racemic indoline was performed with an excellent enantioselectivity of 99 % ee. Furthermore, one-pot asymmetric synthesis of the indoline was achieved by the photochemical reaction of achiral phthalimide followed by continuous attrition-enhanced deracemization converging to 99 % ee of enantiomeric crystals. This is the first example of asymmetric expression and amplification by photochemical hydrogen abstraction and crystallization-induced dynamic deracemization.

Abstract
Many achiral organic compounds become chiral by an isotopic substitution of one of the enantiotopic moieties in their structures. Although spectroscopic methods can recognize the molecular chirality due to an isotopic substitution, the effects of isotopically chiral compounds in enantioselective reactions have remained unsolved because the small chirality arises only from the difference between the number of neutrons in the atomic nuclei. The difference between the diastereomeric isotopomers of reactive sources should be the key to these effects. However, the energy difference between them is difficult to calculate, even using present computational methods, and differences in physical properties have not yet been reported. Here, we demonstrate that the small energy difference between the diastereomeric isotopomers at the molecular level can be enhanced to appear as a solubility difference between the diastereomeric (2H/1H) isotopomers of α-aminonitriles, synthesized from an isotopically chiral amine, achiral aldehyde, and HCN. This small, but measurable, difference induces the chiral (d/l) imbalance in the suspended α-aminonitrile; therefore, a second enhancement in the solid-state chirality proceeds to afford a highly stereoimproved aminonitrile (>99% selectivity) whose handedness arises completely from the excess enantiomer of isotopically chiral amine, even in a low enantiomeric excess and low deuterium-labeling ratio. Because α-aminonitriles can be hydrolyzed to chiral α-amino acids with the removal of an isotope-labeling moiety, the current sequence of reactions represents a highly enantioselective Strecker amino acid synthesis induced by the chiral hydrogen (2H/1H) isotopomer. Thus, hydrogen isotopic chirality links directly with the homochirality of α-amino acids via a double enhancement of α-aminonitrile, the chiral intermediate of a proposed prebiotic mechanism.
