A method is presented for the calculation of the habit of organic crystals from known crystal structure and symmetry. Calculated morphologies are found to be in good agreement with observations for crystals grown by sublimation. To obtain the habitof solution-grown crystals solvent/solute interactions at the crystal/solution interface must be considered. It was assumed that the solvent affects the habitof crystals through preferential adsorption of solvent molecules on specific crystal faces; the need to remove the solvation layer prior to the deposition of oncoming crystal layers causes retardation of growth of these faces relative to their growth rate from the vapor. Changing the relative growth rates of the various faces leadsto a change in crystal shape. Electrostatic potential maps at closest approach distances were used for the study of the relative polarities of the various crystal faces, information which is crucial for the prediction of the habits of crystals obtained from solution in polar or nonpolar solvents.
