Abstract

On the Cover: In the manuscript ” Crystal Morphology Prediction and Experimental Veri fi cation of Venlafaxine Hydrochloride ” by C. Liang, et al , it was shown that modeling can be successfully used to predict the in fl uence of solvent effects on crystal habit of venlafaxine hydrochloride. Modeling of habit of the precipitates was based on the modi fi ed attachment energy model using molecular dynamics simulation and was supported by showing the differences in the X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the three precipitates compared with the calculated pattern. Further, physical properties of the precipitates from the three solvents were shown to be related with the morphologies of the crystals.
