Stable polymorph of morphine1
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the stable polymorph of the title compound, C17H19NO3 [systematic name: (5α,6α)-7,8-didehydro-4,5-ep-oxy-17-methyl-morphinan-3,6-diol], the mol-ecular conformation is in agreement with the characteristics of previously reported morphine forms. The molecule displays the typical T-shape and its piperidine ring adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into helical chains parallel to the b axis. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are also observed.

Nucleation of crystals that are mixed composites of all three polymorphs in the Gaussian core model.
We present results of computer simulations of homogeneous crystal nucleation in the Gaussian core model. In our simulations, we study the competition between the body-centered-cubic (bcc), face-centered-cubic (fcc), and hexagonal-close-packed crystal phases. We find that the crystal nuclei that form from the metastable fluid phase are typically "mixed"; they do not consist of a single crystal p...
متن کاملSolid-State Forms of β-Resorcylic Acid: How Exhaustive Should a Polymorph Screen Be?
An extensive experimental screen, coupled with a computational study, revealed seven new solid-state forms of β-resorcylic acid. The known, stable polymorph II° shows a reversible phase transformation to the new, kinetically stable, probably disordered high temperature form I. The study provides a consistent picture of the solid-state of β-resorcylic acid.
متن کاملCombined crystal structure prediction and high-pressure crystallization in rational pharmaceutical polymorph screening
Organic molecules, such as pharmaceuticals, agro-chemicals and pigments, frequently form several crystal polymorphs with different physicochemical properties. Finding polymorphs has long been a purely experimental game of trial-and-error. Here we utilize in silico polymorph screening in combination with rationally planned crystallization experiments to study the polymorphism of the pharmaceutic...
متن کاملPolymorph selection in 2D crystals by phase transition blocking.
A phase transition between two-dimensional polymorphs of the buckybowl corannulene on a Cu(111) surface can be suppressed by spatial confinement, allowing stabilisation of the metastable polymorph over the stable one.
متن کاملVariable-temperature X-ray powder diffraction analysis of the crystal transformation of the pharmaceutically preferred polymorph C of mebendazole.
Mebendazole is a common benzimidazole anthelmintic that is water insoluble. It is reported to exist in three different polymorphic forms in the solid state, i.e. polymorph A, B and C. Form C is the pharmaceutically preferred form because of its increased aqueous solubility. This paper deals with the use of variable-temperature X-ray powder analysis (VTXRPD) to study the transformation of Form C...
