Large perfect crystals have been grown by using (001) seed plates from aqueous solution. It is shown that the great difference in the growth rates along positive and negative a-axis directions and the defect formation are closely related to the orientation of the key groups of carboxyl radicals(I) and the open structure (mainly the structural channels A and B), respectively. A proposal for improving the quality of crystals by changing the orientation of the polar axis a is given.
