Knowledge of the mechanism by which polymorphic inorganic species, such as carbonates, are formed is crucial to understand and guide the selective crystallization of end products. Recently it has been shown that a key step in the crystallization of calcium carbonate is the formation of intermediate species known as prenucleation clusters. However, the observation of these prenucleation clusters in solution is exceedingly challenging because of their short lifetime and low concentrations. Here, u ...[more]
