Solution-phase crystallization refers to a process where a solid material, such as a crystal, is formed from a liquid solution. However, there are several other terms that can be used interchangeably to describe this process. These terms include precipitation, crystallization from solution, and solvent-mediated crystallization. Other related terms include nucleation, which refers to the formation of initial crystal structures, and growth, which describes the increase in size of existing crystals. Regardless of the terminology used, solution-phase crystallization is a crucial process in the formation and manipulation of various materials, from pharmaceuticals to semiconductors.
