MODELING THE MORPHOLOGY OF MOLECULAR-CRYSTALS IN THE PRESENCE OF DISRUPTIVE TAILOR-MADE ADDITIVES

A generalized approach for predicting the morphology of molecular crys tals in the presence of disruptive tailor-made additives is presented and described. The work is an extension of morphological modelling tec hniques developed by the authors which apply the atom-atom method to c alculate the surface attachment energy, and hence crystal growth rate, as a function of growth direction. The overall approach is illustrate d with the case example of the benzamide/benzoic acid host/additive sy stem.
