Open questions in organic crystal polymorphism
Aurora J. Cruz‐Cabeza, N. Feeder, Roger J. Davey
Abstract
Polymorphs, crystals with different structure and properties but the same molecular composition, arise from the subtle interplay between thermodynamics and kinetics during crystallisation. In this opinion piece, the authors review the latest developments in the field of polymorphism and discuss standing open questions.
