The phase diagram of tetrahedral, patchy particles [1] exhibits the following solid phases: Diamond Crystal, Body Centered Cubic and Face Centered Cubic. The gas-liquid critical point becomes metastable with respect to the Diamond Crystal when the range of the interaction becomes short (roughly less than 15% of the diameter). Interestingly, and differently from the isotropic case, the supersaturation of the fluid at the critical point does not significantly increase upon going toward the adhesive (vanishing interaction range) limit.
