It is desirable to have a systematic approach for predicting or interpreting the effect of the solvents on the production of polymorphs. A method based on the atomic electronegativity is suggested that calculates the partial charge distribution in the solute and solvent molecules. Using the calculated partial charges, correlations are developed to predict the hydrogen bonding ability of the solute and/or solvent molecules. The predictive capability of the proposed correlations is compared with the results of a quantum mechanics approach. Selection of the right solvent may play a significant role in the formation of a desirable polymorph or solvate. The most important properties of class 2 and 3 solvents of International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) for crystallization of polymorphic compounds are listed in this paper. The partial charge calculation has been used as a tool for analyzing the solvent impact on polymorphic isolation of two compounds: ranitidine hydrochloride (H2 receptor antagonist) and stearic acid (used as excipients or in coating the tablets).

X-ray diffraction (XRD) has evolved significantly since its inception, becoming a crucial tool for material structure characterization. Advancements in theory, experimental techniques, diffractometers and detection technology have led to the acquisition of highly accurate diffraction patterns, surpassing previous expectations. Extracting comprehensive information from these patterns necessitates different models due to the influence of both electron density and thermal motion on diffracted beam intensity.

The morphology and kinetics of the crystal growth front have been poorly explored at the particle level. Here, we experimentally observe the crystal growth front in liquid with single-particle kinetics using colloid systems and reveal a surface layer of polymorphic crystal near the solid-solid transition when the two crystals form a low-energy coherent interface. The thickness of the surface crystal can exceed 50 particles and grows logarithmically with the temperature as approaching the solid-solid transition which follows premelting theory.

Although impurities are unavoidable in real-world and experimental systems, most numerical studies on nucleation focus on pure (impurity-free) systems. As a result, the role of impurities in phase transitions remains poorly understood, especially for systems with complex free energy landscapes featuring one or more intermediate metastable phases. In this study, we employed Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the effects of static impurities (quenched disorder) of varying length scales and surface morphologies on the crystal nucleation mechanism and kinetics in the Gaussian core model system-a representative model for soft colloidal systems.

Crystal structure determination is a crucial aspect of almost every branch of the chemical sciences, bringing us closer to understanding crystallization, polymorphism, phase transitions, and the relationship between a structure and its physicochemical and functional properties. Unfortunately, many molecules notoriously crystallize as microcrystalline powders, providing a significant challenge in establishing their structures. In this work, we describe the crystal structure determination of three elusive polymorphs of the anti-inflammatory drug meloxicam (MLX) using three approaches, of which only one was successful for each crystal phase.

In order to improve both resistance to lepidopteran pests and resistance to the herbicide imazethapyr in mainstay varieties of the Huang-Huai rice region, Sanming dominant genic male sterile (S-DGMS) rice was used as a platform to facilitate the pyramiding of functional genes and the replacement of the genomic background. Twelve novel lines were developed, each carrying a crystal toxin gene conferring resistance to lepidopteran pests and the allele conferring resistance to herbicide imazethapyr in the background of a mainstay variety. The genomic background of the 12 novel lines was examined using 48 specified molecular markers, and each line carried less than two polymorphic markers relative to the corresponding mainstay variety.
