12. With formamide the effect is far weaker, and a high concentration of formamide (ca. 5:1) is needed for obtaining an observable effect.
13. Molecular peaks of the mixed benzamide-acetamide were observed by direct chemical ionisation (DI-CI) on a Finnigan quadrupole detector.
14. Zero-level (h0l) Weissenberg camera diffraction photographs were taken of numerous crystals of benzamide, grown from all of the cosolvents mentioned above. Twinning was observed in all cases by virtue of doubled diffraction spots for reflections containing a nonzero h Miller index.
15. 3OD revealed the presence of about 1% acetamide. Progressively rewashed portions of the affected crystals gave similar results.
16. 17 The proposed structure involves the formation of a pair of hetero-bilayers of glycine and leucine.

20. In such affected crystals, therefore, only the thin crystal layer that had been further grown along the c direction from a pure seed, is twinned.
21. For nonspecular CTR measurements the surface was vertical and aligned with a laser such that the surface normal was parallel with the ω axis of the diffractrometer, which ensures a constant angle of incidence throughout the measurements. The angle of incidence was set at 0.5°. The CTR scans were measured by a rocking scan around the surface normal at each momentum transfer in the direction perpendicular to the surface in order to measure the integrated intensity. For the specular reflections (00l) the sample was remounted with the surface nearly horizontal to keep a vertical scattering plane. The scan along the specular rod was performed along the ridge of scattering. The background was measured along a slightly off-specular direction by off-setting the ω angle to lower the radiation damage. The intensities were corrected for Lorentzian and polarization factors and variations in active area in order to achieve a structure factor intensity for both specular and nonspecular CTRs.

32. 33 We therefore rationalize that the presence of trifluoroacetamide in the surface layer induces reduction of the torsion angle.

37. We repeated such a type of growth experiments of benzamide in the presence of 10% p-chlorobenzamide; the resulting crystals were thin (001) plates, as expected, but twinning was not observed.
