Comment on “Theoretical investigations into the enantiomeric and racemic forms of α-(trifluoromethyl)lactic acid” by R. Tonner, V. A. Soloshonok and P. Schwerdtfeger, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2011, 13, 811-817

Abstract

It is argued that differences between homo- and heterochiral dimers of the title compound in the gas phase cannot be responsible for the different sublimation behaviour of racemic and enantiomerically pure crystals near room temperature.
