Crystallising trimesic acid from DMSO solutions - can crystallography teach us anything about the process of crystal nucleation?

Using combined X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy, a remarkable similarity is revealed between the local environments of trimesic acid in solution and in its most metastable trisolvate with DMSO. The implications of this for the nature of the nucleation process are discussed. Using combined X-r...
