An order-disorder type potassium ferrocyanide trihydrate (KFCT) is a coordination compound forming lemon- yellow monoclinic ferroelectric crystals with curie temperature 251 K. KFCT crystals have been grown by temperature lowering solution growth technique. Solubility of KFCT has been determined for various temperatures. Metastable zone width, induction period and interfacial energy were determined for the aqueous solution of KFCT. Bulk crystal of potassium ferrocyanide trihydrate was grown with the optimized growth parameters. The grown crystal possesses good optical transmission in the entire UV-Visible region

Solubility, metastable zone width and induction period of (R)-3-(methylamino)-1-phenylpropanol hydrochloride (MPH) in ethanol were determined by synthetic method at atmospheric pressure. The measured induction period data are also used to estimate the interfacial tension values of the system. The determined interfacial tension values have been also used to evaluate the nucleation parameters, such as the radius of the critical nuclei, the free energy change per unit volume, the critical free energy barriers.

A linear regression model is presented in this study to determine the pre-exponential factor and interfacial energy of the crystallized substance based on classical nucleation theory using the metastable zone width data. The nucleation event is assumed corresponding to a point at which the total number density of the nuclei has reached a fixed (but unknown) value. One equation is derived for any temperature-dependent functional form of the solubility. Another equation is derived for the van’t Hoff solubility expression. The pre-exponential factor and interfacial energy obtained from these two equations are found consistent for the studied systems, including glutamic acid, glycine, and 3-nito-1,2,4-triazol-5-one. The results obtained from these two equations are also compared with those obtained from the integral method and classical 3D nucleation theory approach.
