title: Linking solution chemistry to crystal nucleation: the case of tetrolic acid.
abstract: The application of FTIR spectroscopy to concentrated solutions of tetrolic acid shows, for the first time, a direct relationship between molecular self association in solution and H-bonded motifs in the subsequently crystallised solid phases.
