The global minimum structures of the two diastereomers were assigned. It is found that chirality recognition leads to different compromises in the fine balance between intermolecular interactions. While one isomer features a stronger hydrogen bond, the other one is more tightly arranged and stabilized by larger London dispersion interactions. These new spectroscopic results help understand the influence of chirality in molecular aggregation and unveil the kind of interactions involved between a chiral alcohol and a chiral ketone with large dispersion contributions.}, organization = {German Research Foundation (DFG) SCHN1280/4-2 271359857 Su 121/5-2 271107160 SPP 1807}, organization = {Fundacion Alfonso Martin Escudero}, organization = {Spanish Government FJC2018-035709-I}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, title = {Sniffing out camphor: the fine balance between hydrogen bonding and London dispersion in the chirality recognition with alpha-fenchol}, doi = {10.1039/d2cp00308b}, author = {Quesada Moreno, MarĂ­a del Mar}, }
