title: Conglomerate crystallization on self-assembled monolayers.
abstract: In this communication, we demonstrate that chiral self-assembled monolayers can be used for polymorphism control of chiral crystals. We studied the crystallization of DL-glutamic acid on chiral self-assembled monolayers and showed that crystallization of DL-glutamic acid on the chiral SAMs resulted in stabilization of the metastable conglomerate form.
