Abstract Chirality involved reactions enable to probe features in the fields of asymmetric synthesis and catalysis, which allow to gain insight into the fundamental mechanisms of topochemically controlled reactions. However, in situ observation of the chirality-associated reaction dynamics with simultaneous structural determination of new features has been lacking. Here, we report the direct visualization of the electron-beam-stimulated reaction dynamics of HgS nanostructures with chiral and achiral morphologies simultaneously in both real and reciprocal space. Under the electron-beam excitation of HgS nanostructures, the formation and evaporation dynamics of Hg nanodroplets were vividly pictured while the reciprocal space imaging revealed the structural transformation from monocrystalline to polycrystalline. Such induced changes were size-dependent, which were slowed down when involving the chirality in the nanostructures. The finding offers a fundamental understanding of topochemically controlled reaction mechanisms and holds promise of tuning asymmetric synthesis for catalysis related applications.

We have extended the multi-slice method of computating many-beam lattice images of perfect crystals to calculations for imperfect crystals using the artificial superlattice approach. Electron waves scattered from faulted regions of crystals are distributed continuously in reciprocal space, and all these waves interact dynamically with each other to give diffuse scattering patterns.In the computation, this continuous distribution can be sampled only at a finite number of regularly spaced points in reciprocal space, and thus finer sampling gives an improved approximation. The larger cell also allows us to defocus the objective lens further before adjacent defect images overlap, producing spurious computational Fourier images. However, smaller cells allow us to sample the direct space cell more finely; since the two-dimensional arrays in our program are limited to 128X128 and the sampling interval shoud be less than 1/2Å (and preferably only 1/4Å), superlattice sizes are limited to 40 to 60Å. Apart from finding a compromis superlattice cell size, computing time must be conserved.
