Abstract
This invention relates to a method of forming crystals of chemical molecules. The methods are effective even when only very small amounts of a compound are available and can be used to explore the experimental crystallisation space including screening for optimal crystallisation conditions such as for polymorphic phases, salts, solvates and co-crystals of chemical molecules and to provide single crystals for structural determination of unknown molecules by single crystal X-ray crystallography.
Claims25
A method forming a crystal of a chemical molecule or a salt thereof, the method comprising:
- a) forming a droplet, the droplet comprising a first liquid and a second liquid;
- wherein the first liquid comprises the chemical molecule or a salt thereof dissolved in an organic medium;
- and the second liquid is an oil;
- and
- b) allowing a crystal comprising the chemical molecule to form in the droplet.
