Identification and Quantification of Polymorphism in the Pharmaceutical Compound Diclofenac Acid by Terahertz Spectroscopy and Solid-State Density Functional Theory

Abstract: Polymorph detection and quantification in crystalline materials is a principle interest of the pharmaceutical industry. Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy can be used for such analytical applications since this technique is sensitive to the intermolecular interactions of molecules in the solid state. Understanding the fundamental nature of the lattice vibrational motions leading to absorptions in THz spectra is challenging, but may be achieved through computational approaches. In this study, the THz spectra of two d… Show more

“…In this study, the THz spectra of two diclofenac acid polymorphs were obtained by THz spectroscopy, and the vibrational characters of the observed absorptions were analyzed using solid-state Density Functional Theory (DFT). The results demonstrate the quantitative capacity of THz spectroscopy and the reliability and utility of solidstate DFT in the calculation of low-frequency vibrational motions [11].…”

“…A steep background often appears in THz absorption spectra, which increases along with the frequency, and it cannot be reproduced from quantum calculations. For direct comparison between the calculated and experimental spectra, a simple simulated background signal was modeled and added to the calculated results, following the literature [28,29]. The THz spectrum was calculated by convolution with a Lorentzian line shape to reproduce the line shape of the observed spectrum at room temperature.…”

“…However, modeling small molecules like amino acids is a good start towards revealing complex motions of large molecules. Many studies [9,10,11,12,13,12,14,15,16,17,18,19] based on DFT method have been devoted to understand the low-frequency vibrations of small molecules in solid state.…”
