Within the mesophase resulting from a mixture of the tenside Tween 80R and water, a photoinduced isomerization of potassium trioxalato chromate (CrOx3) can lead to enantiomer excess. The helical hyperstructure of Tween/water phase is responsible for this effect which is highly susceptible to external influences. Based on these results a model is developed which may help to explain the amplification of small enantiomer excesses on the prebiotic Earth.
