Popis: We exploit the possible link between structural surface roughness and difficulty of crystallisation. Polymorphs with smooth surfaces may nucleate and crystallise more readily than polymorphs with rough surfaces. The concept is applied to crystal structure prediction landscapes and reveals a promising complementary way of ranking putative crystal structures.
The link between structural surface rugosity and ease of crystallisation has been explored (see picture). Smooth polymorphs were found to crystallise more readily than rough polymorphs. A code was written to compute crystal rugosity and applied to crystal structure prediction calculations, thus affording a new way of linking landscapes to experimentation.
