3. 1/c and C2/c are excluded as well as those residing on the 2-fold axis in C2/c. The datasets of achiral molecules in Sohncke space groups are unaffected. This restriction was imposed to allow easy comparison of data between structures with the same number of molecules in the asymmetric unit.

6. The phenomenon of spontaneous resolution was first recorded by Pasteur when it was observed that selected crystals grown from a racemic solution of tartaric acid rotated polarised light in opposite directions. A further well known example of spontaneous resolution is that of 4-helicene: chiral crystals are formed but the molecule racemises instantly in solution. See: A. J. Jacques, A. Collet and S. H. Wilen. Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions, J. Wiley & Sons, New York, 1981, and the references therein.
