Collection of two optically pure enantiomers in a single crystallization process can significantly increase the chiral separation efficiency but this is difficult to realize. Now a self-reporting strategy is presented for visualizing the crystallization process by a dyed self-assembled inhibitor made from the copolymers with tri(ethylene glycol)-grafting polymethylsiloxane as the main chain and poly(N6-methacryloyl-l-lysine) as side chains. When applied with seeds together for the fractional crystallization of conglomerates, the inhibitors can label the formation of the secondary crystals and guide the complete separation process of two enantiomers with colorless crystals as the first product and red crystals as the second. This method leads to high optical purity of d/l-Asn?H2O (99.9 % ee for d-crystals and 99.5 % for l-crystals) in a single crystallization process. It requires a small amount of additives and shows excellent recyclability.

A new general and efficient method for kinetic resolution of racemic conglomerates by crystallization in the presence of "tailor-made" additives is described.The process is explained in terms of stereoselective adsorption of the resolved additive at the surface of the growing crystals of the enantiomer of the same absolute configuration, resulting in a drastic decrease in their rate of growth and thus allowing preferential crystallization of the opposite enantiomer ("rule of reversal").Some empirical resolutions reported in the literature are rationalized through this mechanism, and appropriate additives for the resolution of new systems are designed and successfully applied.The crystallization of the conglomerates (R,S)-glutamic acid hydrochloride (Glu*HCl), (R,S)-threonine (Thr), (R,S)-(p-hydroxyphenyl)glycine p-toluenesulfonate (pHpgpTs), and (R,S)-asparagine hydrate (Asn*H2O) in the presence of other amino acids, used as additives, has been studied in particular.It is demonstrated that the additives are occluded in the bulk of the homochiral crystal in typical amounts of 0.5-1.5percent, while they are not found in the bulk of the crystals of the antipode.The possible role of the additives in nucleation and dissolution of the affected crystals is considered.A new method for the assignment of absolute configuration of chiral molecules is proposed.
