X-ray analysis does not distinguish between enantiomeric crystal structures (7?) rf and (5);[where theenantiomerically resolved molecules R and S pack in the corresponding [} d and {j; chiral crystal] unless theBijvoet method of anomalous dispersion is applied. On the other hand, X-ray analysis of a centrosymmetric crystal composed of a racemate [7? S (establishes unambiguously the sites occupied by the R and S moieties with respect to the crystal axes (Figure 1). Consequently, in contradistinction to chiral crystals, the orientation toward all crystal faces of the substituents attached to the R and S chiral molecules is unam-biguously assigned. 1 However, because of the coexistence of the two enantiomers in the crystals, this knowledge cannot be directly exploited for the assignment of absolute configurationof chiral resolved molecules. This limitation may be circumvented if the structural information contained in the racemic crystal is trans-ferred to a third chiral molecule, interacting stereospecifically with the racemic system through a well-defined mechanism. Our studies on inhibition of growth of conglomerates2 and polar crystals1 by adsorption of resolved “tailor-made” impurities have led to an understanding of the correlation between the crystal
