Abstract
The direction of the polar axis of the potassium biphthalate (KAP) cry stal was determined by anomalous X-ray scattering (lambda Cu). Accordi ng to the etching pattern on the same sample, the positive direction o f the axis corresponds to the slow-growing end of the crystal. Crystal chemical features of the main faces of the KAP crystal ({111} and {11 (1) over bar} pyramids, {010} pinacoid, and {110} prism) were revealed . This allowed us to explain the anisotropy of impurity (ethylene glyc ol, di- or trivalent metal cations) effects on the growth of separate faces of the crystal.
