https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.R05028
An equimolar mechanical mixture of crystals each one of which contains only one of the two @E02069@ present in a @R05025@. The process of its formation on @C01434@ of a @R05025@ is called spontaneous resolution, since pure or nearly pure enantiomers can often be obtained from the @C01263@ by sorting.
