SrCO 3 crystals display patterns of templating when grown on tailored self‐assembled monolayers (right). As SrCO 3 is isostructural with aragonite, comparison of the crystallisation of SrCO 3 in the aragonite/strontianite modification with the crystallisation of CaCO 3 in all three modifications might yield some insights into which factors are important for crystal growth.
