Abstract

Single crystals of phenanthrene have been grown from the melt following extensive purification efforts including adsorption column chromatography, sublimation and zone-refining in specially designed crystal growing tubes. The important factors which governed the successful growth of single crystals of phenanthrene by the moving vessel technique (Bridgman Crystal Growth System Type 365), have been investigated, viz, the purity of the phenanthrene, the temperature gradient, the shape of the growth vessel and the growth rate.
