Qualitative rationalization of the crystal growth morphology of benzoic acid controlled using solvents

Abstract

The crystal growth morphology of benzoic acid was predicted by considering solvent effects in a systematic way for the first time using the modified attachment energy (AE) model. Solvent interaction with growing crystal faces has a controlling effect on crystal aspect ratios. The predicted crystal morphologies are in good agreement with the observed crystal morphologies in a range of different solvents.
