Molecular recognition theoretical framework

The kinetics of crystallization can be divided into three processes 1) supersaturation 2) nucleation and 3) crystal growth. These processes are also significantly influenced by molecular recognition phenomena in solution. This section establishes the theoretical framework for these processes with specific focus on those parameters that are influenced by the solvent. These processes are also discussed extensively elsewhere (Rodriguez-Homedo, 1991 Rodriguez-Hornedo and Murphy, 1999 Rodriguez-Homedo and Sinclair, 2002).
