At present the only reliable method available for proof of absolute stereochemistry is a single-crystal X-ray structure using the enantiomorph polarity estimation method developed by Flack.
The reliability of the determination can be measured by the enantiomorph distinguishing power, which is the standard error on the Flack parameter.
To enhance the enantiomorph distinguishing power it is essential to collect data at longer wavelength such as Cu-Kα.

  enantiomorph --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Each enantiomorph rotates the plane of polarization of plane-polarized light through a characteristic angle, but, because the rotatory effect of each component exactly cancels that of the other, the racemic mixture is...
(Enantiomorphs are pairs of substances that have dissymmetric arrangements of atoms and structures that are nonsuperposable mirror images of one another.) Two important methods of resolution were employed by Louis Pasteur.
An example is the pair consisting of either of the two optically active forms of tartaric acid (either the dextrorotatory or levorotatory form) and the optically inactive meso...

 L-Dopa process and intermediates - Patent 4005127
This compound is present as the two enantiomorphs, L and D; the L enantiomorph being present in a major amount and the D enantiomorph being present in a minor amount.
To this mixture was added a mixture consisting of 74 parts of the R form of l-menthyl methylphenylphosphinate (the choice of S or R depends on the enantiomorph desired) and 450 parts benzene.
While the illustrative embodiments of the invention have been described hereinbefore with particularity it will be understood that various other modifications will be apparent to and can be readily made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

One of a pair of chiral objects or models that are non-superposable mirror images of each other.
The adjective enantiomorphic is also applied to mirror-image related groups within a molecular entity.
Constitutionally identical atoms or groups in molecules which are related by symmetry elements of the second kind only (mirror plane, inversion centre or rotation-reflection axis).

 Volume 1 Chapter 7 Handling Structure Inversion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Thus, for 3D searches which test enantiomorph-sensitive parameters, it is quite possible for the first-located fragment to fail the search criteria, but for these criteria to be satisfied by the inverse fragment (the enantiomorph) in which the sign of each atomic coordinate has been changed.
steroids, carbohydrates, etc.) where the absolute stereochemistry is well known and is not in doubt, it is quite possible for the incorrect enantiomorph to be assigned and refined perfectly well in the determined space group, especially where the axial system describing the crystal structure has inadvertently been chosen to be left- rather than right-handed.
This issue is complex, and the CCDC is now engaged in a project to identify (as far as possible) those cases of erroneous enantiomorph assignments.

Structurally, the Si and O ions are arranged in special positions in the enantiomorphous space groups C3 2 and C3 The enantiomorphism arises in helical arrangements of the Si and O ions along the [0001] direction.
If the nucleation of quartz as right or left enantiomorphs is a matter of chance, the two enantiomrophs should be equally frequent.

 Archimedean Semi-Regular Polyhedra
The snub cube and snub dodecahedron are chiral; they each come in two handednesses (two enantiomorphs, referred to as left-handed and right-handed forms or laevo and dextro forms).
To see the enantiomorph of either of the snub figures, view the reflection of your computer screen in a mirror.
Or, look at this side-by-side model of a snub cube and its enantiomorph.

The phases required to define the cell origin and enantiomorph are specified automatically, or may be selected (wholly or partly) by the user.
If the structure is noncentrosymmetric this procedure is also used to specify one or more EDR (enantiomorph defining reflection) phases to fix the enantiomorphic form of the structure.
Strong enantiomorph definition is also possible through the application of random starting phases.

An enantiomorph (pronounced en-ant-i-o-morf) is a mirror image of something, an opposite reflection.
The term, derived from the Greek enantios or "opposite," is used in a number of contexts, including architecture, molecular physics, and political theory.
It is reported to also be used in computer system design.

The enantiomorph ambiguity can be resolved by MAD phasing with the original heavy atom configuration and its inverse image, followed by inspection of the resulting electron density maps.
Only the correct enantiomorph will produce an interpretable map.
The electron density maps are computed with the observed structure factors measured at a remote wavelength, and MAD phases.

The aspartylprotease of the human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 (NY5) has been crystallized in a form suitable for x-ray diffraction analysis.
The crystals are tetragonal bipyramids and produce an x-ray diffraction pattern that exhibits the symmetry associated with space group P4(1)2(1)2 (or its enantiomorph, P4(3)2(1)2).
The unit cell parameters are a = b = 50.3 A, c = 106.8 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees; measurable diffraction intensities are observed to a resolution of 2.5 A. Density measurements indicate one molecule of 9,400 daltons/asymmetric unit.
