Heterogeneous nucleation of organic crystals mediated by single-molecule templates
Mechanistic details on how a molecular crystal nucleates on a surface remain limited because it is difficult to probe rare events at the molecular scale. Now, single-molecule real-time transmission electron microscopy shows that a single-molecule template on the surface of carbon nanohorns can nucle...

| description | Mechanistic details on how a molecular crystal nucleates on a surface remain limited because it is difficult to probe rare events at the molecular scale. Now, single-molecule real-time transmission electron microscopy shows that a single-molecule template on the surface of carbon nanohorns can nucleate the crystallization of two organic compounds, and that the mechanism is reminiscent of a two-step nucleation process in solution.

because of the difficulty of probing rare events at the molecular scale. Here we show that single-molecule templates on the surface of carbon nanohorns can nucleate the crystallization of two organic compounds from a supersaturated solution by mediating the formation of disordered and mobile molecular nanoclusters on the templates. Single-molecule real-time transmission electron microscopy indicates that each nanocluster consists of a maximum of approximately 15 molecules, that there are fewer nanoclusters than crystals in solution, and that in the absence of templates physisorption, but not crystal formation, occurs. Our findings suggest that template-induced heterogeneous nucleation mechanistically resembles two-step homogeneous nucleation
