Amorphous Intermediates and Polymorph Selection in Molecular Crystallization

Prof. Dr. Michael Grünwald – Associate Professor / Co-Director / Chemistry REU / Department of Chemistry, University of Utah

Abstract „Amorphous Intermediates and Polymorph Selection in Molecular Crystallization“ When matter crystallizes, thermodynamics dictates that the crystal structure with the lowest free energy will prevail in equilibrium. For typical organic molecules, however, the situation is more complicated: many accessible crystal packings often lie within a narrow free-energy range, and crystallization outcomes are frequently controlled less […]
