Hierarchically ordered chiral crystals have attracted intense research efforts but the need of enantiomeric pure building blocks and difficulties in the precise control of chirality transfer poses a barrier to their application. Here, the authors describe a process which allows preferred formation of one enantiomorph from a racemic solution and the specific oriented attachment of this enantiomorph by balancing stereoselective and non stereoselective interactions.
