Abstract

A monolayer of 4-(octadecy1oxy) benzoic acid at the air-solution interface has been used to induce oriented nucleation of three-dimensional (3-D) crystals of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) monohydrate.'The twodimensional (2-D) crystalline structure of this monolayer in a self-assembled uncompressed state, both on a water subphase and on a solution containing HBA, was determined by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GID) using synchrotron ...
