Studies on epitaxial growth of organic compounds on sucrose by the fourier transform method (I). On crystal growth of the participants

Epitaxial growth of organic compounds on sucrose crystals has been observed. In any case two-dimensional lattice analogies exist. The structural relations are, as a rule, unknown. In the present first part crystal growth of the participants was investigated. Equilibrium and growth forms of host (sucrose) and guest crystals (β-succinic acid, hexachlorobenzene, anthraquinone, isatin) have been determined by the Fourier transform method. The growth polyhedra fully correspond to the experimental observations.
