Abstract 

Crystal nucleation from solution is a key process for the rational design and precise production of the desired structure and properties of crystalline materials. Understanding of crystal nucleation mechanism and hence the precise control is of fundamental importance. Crystal nucleation was studied for several centuries, and two main schools of thought, classic nucleation theory and non-classic nucleation mechanism, were proposed. The review summarized the research progress in recent years on molecular mechanism of crystal nucleation from solution. It was briefly introduced the development and problem of classic nucleation theory. Recent studies on solution chemistry, polymorphic formation and crystal nucleation mechanism were reviewed in detail. Two-step mechanism and pre-nucleation cluster pathway were then introduced, and the application of understanding and control of crystal nucleation was summarized. Finally, the future study on crystal nucleation mechanism was discussed and outlooked.
