• Crystal shape impacts– Downstream processing efficiency (filtering, flowability, tableting)– End use functionality (catalytic activity, bio-availability)
• The distribution of kink sites is the key anisotropic parameter that determines crystal shapes when grown from solution– An accurate prediction of the distribution of kink sites is required to predict
shapes from first principles using mechanistic growth models
• The classic models for determining kink site distributions were developed assuming low kink densities and strong intermolecular interactions– Frequently not the case for solution growth of small organic molecules0.00

Kink Sites• Unoccupied sites occurring adjacent to a disturbance along an edge • Play an essential role in crystal growth and dissolution • Two unique properties that allow for growth in a “self-sustaining” manner
1. Maintain the free energy of the edge constant (thermodynamic)2. Create another kink site (renewability)

classical view of layered growth.

• Today’s limited focus: – Disturbances arising from thermal roughening of the edge– Edge’s with their most probable configuration of disturbances and disturbance free sites
– Resulting average distance between successive disturbances

classical view of layered growth.
Kink Sites and Disturbances• Classically (Frenkel, J Phys USSR, 1945) assumed a 1:1 correspondence • Kinks have two unique properties
1. Maintain the free energy of the edge constant (thermodynamic)2. Create another kink site (renewability)
• Geometric minimum average spacing of (Vekilov, Cryst Growth Des, 2007)– but

Models for Site Distributions• Single site model (1:1 correspondence)
– Kink site unoccupied site adjacent to a disturbance– probability of a single event (a disturbance) occurring
• Multi-site models– Kink site site obeying both properties of a kink– is based on the conjoined probability of 4 independent events occurring
Types of unoccupied sites (Kossel (100) face, KC)

Multi-Site Models• 4 independent events each with 3 possible outcomes
1. Negative disturbance:2. Positive disturbance:3. No disturbance:
• 34 = 81 different possible states of the edge segment• 81 states 9 families for KC
– KC is universally applicable for systems with 2 centrosymmetric PBCs• 81 states 11 families for FCC
– FCC case is universally applicable for 3 centrosymmetric PBCs

Conclusions and Future Work• Multi-site models give accurate kink site distributions for
edges with w < 3 kbT – Merit implementation into shape prediction modeling efforts and
experimental studies
• These models are universally applicable for centrosymmetric systems – The development and application of these models for non-
centrosymmetric systems is a potential avenue for future research
• These distributions are based on an equilibrium assumption– The rate into and out of the equilibrium state should be determined
