Abstract
Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) crystals develop new high index faces when grown from aqueous solution containing up to 1000 ppm of added CrCl~3~ · 6 H~2~O. The crystallographic nature of these faces has been studied as a function of the CrCl~3~ · 6 H~2~O concentration in the growth solution (24.0°C, σ = 0.06) and their high morphological importance is explained, using a modification of the Hartman‐Perdok theory of crystal morphology, but postulating that the adsorption of impurity species at specific sites transform K‐faces into pseudo‐F‐faces.
