Abstract
This review article discusses a link between stereochemistry and structural and morphological chirality. We present the remarkably frequent, but less often reported, growth of twisted crystals and discuss the reasons for their formation and ways to favor their growth. The more commonly encountered conglomerates and racemic compounds can be formed by achiral molecules, but the emergence of morphological chirality is often not considered in this context and perhaps deserves attention. Twisted crystals are known for a wide variety of materials, molecular and macromolecular, complexes and oxides, and so on. In growing crystals, twisting of lamellae because of strain generated during growth eventually unwinds in larger objects, and may not be detected. This kind of chiral morphology arising from low symmetry growth, and the challenges and opportunities for research in the area, are highlighted. In particular, the link between structural bending in supramolecular aggregates in solution or at interfaces, chiral nanofilaments in liquid crystals, and chiral polymers, is discussed.
