The crystal growth process of 2n(Met)(A~O)~*H20 from the mixed solution of water and acetone has been investigated using a Calvet microcalorimeter. The heat produced and the rate of heat production during the crystal growth process at 298.15, 301.15, 304.15,307.15 and 310.15 K have been measured. On the basis of experimental and calculated results, the thermodynamics parameters (the apparent activation enthalpy, the activation entropy, and the activation free energy), the rate constant and the kinetic parameters (the activation energy, the pre-exponential factor) during the crystal growth process have been obtained. The results show that the crystal growth proceeds in accordance with the Burton-Cabrera-Frank dislocation theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
