Comments on a possible transition to solid-phase homochirality.
As a response to a Concept article published by D. G. Blackmond in this journal, which intended to offer alternative explanations to interpretations in a previous Concept article written by us, we show that errors concerning the solubility behavior of some enantiomorphs and concerning the application of the number of components in the Gibbs phase rule led the author toward the misunderstanding of our previous arguments and to non-valid conclusions.
