Crystallization is an important process in a wide range of scientific
disciplines including chemistry, physics, biology, geology, and materials
science. Recent investigations of biomineralization indicate that
specific molecular interactions at inorganic-organic interfaces can
result in the controlled nucleation and growth of inorganic crystals.
Synthetic systems have highlighted the importance of electrostatic
binding or association, geometric matching (epitaxis), and stereochemical
correspondence in these recognition processes. Similarly, organic
molecules in solution can influence the morphology of inorganic crystals
if there is molecular complementarity at the crystal-additive interface.
A biomimetic approach based on these principles could lead to the
development of new strategies in the controlled synthesis of inorganic
nanophases, the crystal engineering of bulk solids, and the assembly
of organized composite and ceramic materials.
