Nucleation kinetics, micro-crystallization and surface morphology studies of the nonlinear optical single-crystal l-lysinium trifluoroacetate

Nucleation kinetics, micro-crystallization and etching studies of l-histidine trifluoroacetate crystal

“…The obtained interfacial tensions as shown in Table 1 vary from 2.216 to 5.038 mJ/m 2 , which are consistent with the nucleation experimental results for other system [12][13][14]16]. The surface free energy is directly related to the solubility and it is also inversely proportional to the growth rate.…”

“…1 slightly decreases with the increase in temperature. It reveals that the LHTF solution has a larger metastable zone width (ranging in the extent 8-12.5 1C) than other crystals solution [12][13][14].…”

An Examination of the Growth Kinetics of l-Arginine Trifluoroacetate (LATF) Crystals from Induction Period and Atomic Force Microscopy Investigations

“…In the literature, a similar characteristic change in the slope of the induction period plot has been used to distinguish between nucleation mechanisms as well as for other compounds, both organic (e.g., abecarnil) and inorganic (e.g., calcium carbonate). , As far as we know, the crystal−solution interfacial energy is a crucial parameter involved in the theories of crystal nucleation and growth. Generally, inorganic salts of low solubility generally give quite high interfacial energy values (30−150 mJ/m 2 ), , soluble inorganics give lower values (4−8 mJ/m 2 ), whereas organic materials show even lower values of interfacial energy (1.4−3.5 mJ/m 2 ). , In our case, from the slope of the plot in the homogeneous region, assuming spherical nucleus (β = 16π/3) and Ω = 3.14 × 10 −28 m 3 for LATF, the interfacial energy can be estimated to be 3.32 mJ/m 2 , which is similar both to our previous results (1.25−2.73 mJ/m 2 ) and to those values reported for other amino acids crystal system (e.g., 1.32−2.93 mJ/m 2 for LAA; 2.5−5.0 mJ/m 2 for LAP; 2.98−4.75 mJ/m 2 for LLTF). − …”

Drug-Facilitated Crystallization of Spray-Dried CD-MOFs with Tunable Morphology, Porosity, And Dissolution Profile

“…However, the crystal growth could be hindered as the saturation degree increases because of spurious nucleation. 52 More nucleation sites lead to a suppression of crystal growth, as there are less nutrients for the extension of the crystalline framework. 53 Nevertheless, the results in Table 3 demonstrate that the surface area of the CD-MOF particles increased with longer incubation time, thereby indicating that the crystal growth of the highly porous CD-MOF was not suppressed by excess nucleation.…”
