Abstract
At present, the problem of spontaneous segregation has no satisfactory theoretical description. The main difficulty is a very low probability of the spontaneous formation of a chirally pure nucleus in a racemic mixture if the enantioselectivity energy is below (10–12)kT, which does not correspond to reality. In this paper, we propose a mechanism of the enhancement of enantioselectivity in the chiral phase nucleus, which circumvents the problem of the low probability of its formation.
