Abstract:This work illustrates the significance of kinetic parameters of nucleation and thermal decomposition for Pyridine-2-carboxylic acid crystals. In the interest of maximizing the growth condition for the production of single crystals, nucleation parameters such as interfacial energy (σ), volume free energy (ΔGv), critical energy barrier for nucleation (ΔG*), radius of the critical nucleus (r*) and nucleation rate (J) were determined from the classical nucleation theory of solubility-enthalpy relation. The optimiz… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
