Chirality-Induced Switch in Hydrogen-Bond Topology: Tetrameric Methyl Lactate Clusters in the Gas Phase

Supersonic jet expansions of racemic methyl lactate show a prominent OH‐stretching infrared absorption at 3401 cm−1 which is not present in the enantiopure compound. Experimental results and quantum chemical calculations show that the underlying tetrameric cluster has 2:2 stoichiometry of the R and...
