首先需要强调的是长单晶是一种艺术，而不完全归结于科学，或者说它是一门介于科学和艺术之间的技术。 对于水溶性好的分子，结晶是很困难，一般都是通过干燥缓慢去除溶剂的办法，也有的通过极缓慢的降温来获得单晶，或者在水上加入一层难溶性的有机溶剂。 对于在有机溶剂中溶解比较好的分子，他们的结晶一般都是通过扩散的办法来实现，如将乙醚或是苯扩散进入乙氰中。 对于生物大分子单晶，一般都采用悬滴法，即在一个小而密闭的容器中，下边放溶剂，上边加一滴分子饱和的溶剂，然后封闭之。 要结晶的分子一般来讲一定要纯，达到95%以上的纯度，当然也不绝对，也有的体系在较低纯度就拿到了单晶，比如饶子和院士发在CELL上的蛋白晶体结构就是从一个混合体系中拿到的。 |

Crystallization belongs to the oldest techniques used in chemical laboratories. Nevertheless crystallization is referred to as more of an art than a science. In many cases crystallization is more difficult and less successful than other techniques like distillation or chromatography. Additionally there is often a lack in education about crystallization techniques. Many textbooks don't treat this topic. As stated in many introductory chemistry textbooks, crystallization should start, if the concentation of a solution is higher than the corresponding solubility product. In fact, crystallization is kinetically hindered. This leads to the metastable condition of supersaturation: The concentration is higher than the solubility product, but crystallization has not yet started. This condition of supersaturation is the optimal condition for crystal growing. In fact it is the only condition for crystal growing: If the concentration is higher, uncontrolled spontanous crystallization sets in; if the concentration is lower, already formed crystals will dissolve. An often used process in the laboratory is therefore the cooling of the reaction mixture until the state of supersaturation is achieved. But as stated before, crystallization is kinetically hindered and will not start, even if you wait for month. What you need are crystal seeds. The generation of these crystal seeds (nucleation) is the most difficult part of the whole crystallization process. You can try out one of the following techniques for nucleation: 1. Nucleation is in most cases an endothermic process. Evaporation of the solvent at increased temperatures is therefore a better choice for getting crystal seeds than just cooling down. If the first crystals are visible, the growing of the crystals is thereafter controlled by lowering the temperature (crystal growing is exothermic in most cases). N.B. Crystallization at higher temperatures can lead to other crystal forms compared to lower tempertures. Sodium sulfate crystallizes as decahydrate when crystallized below 305.53 K and without hydrate water when crystallized above 305.53 K. Calcium carbonate prefers the aragonite and vaterite modifications at higher temperatures and the calcite modification at lower temperatures. 2. The solution is cooled down until (uncontrolled) spontanous crystallization sets in. The solution is then warmed up until nearly all of the crystals are dissolved again. The remaining crystals are allowed to grow by controlled cooling. N.B.: Unfortunally many chemist are proud of having crystals at all. They don't have the courage to re-dissolve the crystals. They just bring the results of the uncontrolled spontanous crystallization to the crystallographer. The quality of these crystals is very poor and in many cases also the results of the structure determination. 3. Ultrasound often helps to get crystal seeds. Ultrasound is used in cleaning baths, but can also be generated by scratching at the glass of the crystallization vessel. 4. Hetreogeneous nucleation. Nucleation can be affected considerably by the presence of mere traces of impurities in the system. Impurities may act as inhibitors or accelerators. ________________________________________ Golden rules 1. "Don't crystallize in the dark." Many chemist put their crystallization vessels to a dark place, leave it there for hours, days or month, and wait somewhere else. That's the wrong way. You have to watch the process!!! If the first crystal seeds are visible, you must control the growing process (temperature, cooling rate). If no crystal seeds are visible you have to change something. 2. "Don't crystallize too concentrated." Crystallization from too concentrated solutions often leads to glass, syrup or other unpleasant results. A good example are sugars which are very soluble in water. They therefore form high concentrations and nearly never crystallize from water. Better choose a solvent (or mixture of solvents), in which the solute is less soluble. 3. "Don't hurry." If you need month or years for the synthesis of a compound, why should the crystallization be finished in a few hours? You don't stop the synthesis after the first dissapointing attempts, why do you stop crystallization so early. 4. "Don't forget about details." You write an excellent, detailed laboratory notebook about your synthesis. You mention boiling and melting points, concentrations, colours, reaction times and so on. But you don't mention your crystallization conditions at all or only with one sentence. The remark "Suitable crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent" is to no help to the reader. 5. "Don't use glass vessels." With evaporation the solvent creeps up the walls of a glass vessel, because the hydroxyl-groups of the silicate glass make it hydrophilic. Nucleation occurs therefore outside the solution. Much better are vessels made of polypropylen or teflon. The solvent doesn't creep up these vessels. You can also make glass vessels hydrophobic by silanation. 6. "Use acceptors." Many substances are difficult to crystallize because the system don't contain acceptors for hydrogen bonds. The Cambridge Structural Database contains more than 350 substances crystallized as picrates. In other cases triphenylphosphine oxide can be used alternatively (M.C. Etter, P.W. Baures, J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1988) 110, 639-640). Recommended books People who want to get a deeper understandig of the matter are referred to the following three books: A. Holden, P.
