The existence of racemic compounds, comprised of pairs of opposite enantiomers as discrete molecular entities, has been accepted for over a century. However, their ability to remain as associated dimers when in solution is uncertain, if not generally doubted. In this article, data has been assembled to provide evidence for the presence of intact dimeric heterochiral assemblies in solution and presents DL-thalidomide as a probable example of this phenomenon.
