The effect of solvent–crystal interaction on the morphology of a solvate of rifampicin

The large attachment energy (AE) of (1 0 0) and (1 −1 0) explains their vanishment. Stronger interaction with n -butanol of (0 −2 0) leads to its larger facet area than (0 2 0). The larger AE of (1 1 0) than (0 0 1) explains its faster growth rate.
