And here some more small molecule crystallization links.

Hello all,
I am asking this question for a colleague(a chemist not a
crystallographer) who would like to crystallize a small molecule
(for clarification this is just the small molecule not a protein
complex). The compound is quite hydrophobic and is rather "greasy."
He has a free alcohol which could be a site of modification if this
would help. I have only worked with proteins and was hoping that
someone might be knowledgible and could point me in the direction
of some help(literature, websites, etc) that might aide as a ground
level tutorial on crystallization of small molecules, and if
possible more specifically crystallization of hydrophobic/"greasy"
small molecules.
Thanks in advance-
