- Phenacetin was used as a model pharmaceutical compound to investigate the impact of solvent choice and crystallization conditions on the crystal habit and size distribution of the final crystallized product. The crystal habit of phenacetin was explored using crash-cooling crystallization (kinetically controlled) and slow evaporative crystallization (thermodynamically controlled) in a wide range of organic solvents. In general, a variety of needle-type shapes (needles, rods, or blades) were recovered from fast-cooling crystallizations, in contrast to hexagonal blocks obtained from slow evaporative crystallizations. The solubility of phenacetin was measured in five solvents from 10-70 degrees C to allow for the design of larger-scale crystallization experiments. Supersaturation and the nucleation temperature were independently controlled in isothermal desupersaturation experiments to investigate the impact of each on crystal habit and size. The crystal size (needle cross-sectional area) decreased with increasing supersaturation because of higher nucleation rates at higher supersaturation, and elongated needles were recovered: Increasing the nucleation temperature resulted in the production of larger crystals with decreased needle aspect ratios. Antisolvent phenacetin crystallizations were developed for three solvent/antisolvent systems using four different antisolvent addition rates to simultaneously probe the crystal habit and size of the final product. In general, increasing the antisolvent addition rate, associated with increased rate of generation of supersaturation, resulted in the production of shorter needle crystals.
