“…For carnidazole, two polymorphic anhydrous phases with different melting temperatures and enthalpies have been characterized. 5,8 This case of dimorphism was accompanied with conformational changes (with only one conformation per crystal structure), that is, a case of conformational polymorphism according to the definition proposed by Bernstein and Hagler. 10,11 For metronidazole with a shorter chain (R = CH 2 CH 2 OH), polymorphism or multiple conformations have, until now, not been observed.…”
