Abstract :
The study of nucleation understands and predicts the growth time before the crystal appears. The solubility and nucleation parameters of pure and ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) doped guanidinium p-nitrobenzoate crystals have been determined. The lattice parameters and the crystal system were identified from single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Solubility of the compounds was analyzed gravimetrically at different temperatures. In order to optimize the growth parameters, metastable zone width, induction-period, interfacial tension, radius of the critical nucleus and energy of nucleus formation were analyzed based on the classical theory of nucleation. Structural and optical properties of the grown crystals have been assessed.
