  • Publication number: 20240181371
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a technique for flow crystallization. The system comprises a container having a bottom surface defining a first plane, the container including at least two planar magnetic surfaces being arranged in a spaced-apart manner along a first plane and being substantially parallel to a second plane; a magnetization vector of each of the magnetic surfaces being perpendicularly to the surface, wherein the container is configured such that the first plane is substantially perpendicularly to the second plane; wherein a cavity formed in between the planar magnetic surfaces is configured to accommodate a racemic mixture including different enantiomers such that each magnetic surface interacts differently with each of the different enantiomers to thereby enable enantio-selective crystallization. Therefore, the system of the present invention is based on enantio-separation of the crystals using magnetic surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20210379557
    Abstract: A system and method for use in synthesis and promoting interactions of chiral molecules. The system can include: a container configured for containing fluid mixture comprising one or more reactant molecules and at least one surface comprising ferromagnetic or paramagnetic material located to be in at least partial contact with reactants in said container. The ferromagnetic of paramagnetic material can be magnetizable with magnetization direction perpendicular to said at least one surface, thereby providing chiral selective synthesis from said one or more reactant molecules. The technique can enable selective interactions of enantiomers of selected handedness of chiral molecules or formation of selected enantiomers from achiral molecule reactants.

  • Publication number: 20200353478
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for use in the separation of chiral compounds, and enantiomers in particular. The system comprises a cavity (110) for containing a fluid mixture that comprises one or more types of chiral molecules, which may also include enantiomers, and at least one ferromagnetic or paramagnetic substrate (120) providing at least one interface (130) with said fluid mixture. The substrate (120) is magnetized providing a magnetic field Bz perpendicular to said ferromagnetic or paramagnetic interface (130), thereby providing a variation in the interaction energy of chiral molecules of different handedness, aka. enantiomers, with said substrate (120).
