Abstract

A common perception of many chemists is that non-biological chiral crystals comprise a small fraction of all crystals, as is the case of chiral non-biological molecules (∼10%). We show that the proportion of non-biological chiral crystals is as high as 23%; and only ∼6% of these are labelled as chiral.
