Racemic on the outside, but not inside: Aromatic-foldamer hosts are enantiomers and as such prefer to co-crystallize even though the guests (e.g. L-tartaric acid, see picture) in each host are not present as enantiomers. This behavior allows a one-step structure elucidation of diastereomeric and quasi-racemic structures in the solid state.
外消旋，内非对映体：具有芳香折叠构象的主体是对映异构体，因此即使每个主体中的客体（例如 L-酒石酸，见图片）不以对映异构体的形式存在，它们也更喜欢共结晶。这种行为允许在固态中一步阐明非对映异构体和准外消旋结构的结构。
