Abstract
Breaking out: By introducing a relatively stable intermediate to chemically control the nucleation rate, chiral symmetry breaking was achieved in the crystallization of intrinsically chiral helical coordination polymers. The fewer crystal clusters formed, the more pronounced the symmetry breaking (see picture). (Graph Presented)
