Abstract
We propose that the supercritical fluid crystallization (SCFC) method is on e of the most promising techniques for preparing organic microcrystals. In the case of titanylphthalocyanine (TiOPc) and diacetylenes, the size and fo rms of the resulting microcrystals could be controlled by changing SCFC con ditions. In particular, the SCFC method for the microcrystallizaton of phth alocyanines is expected to be useful, replacing the previous acid-pasting m ethod.
