“…The first series was aimed at checking that there are no other high-pressure phases, which would require in situ recrystallization. Such 'hidden' polymorphs were observed previously for other organic compounds: imidazole (Paliwoda et al, 2012), benzene (Bridgman, 1911), di-p-tolyl disulfide ( Sobczak & Katrusiak, 2017), 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-1 phenylpyridazin-6-one (Roszak et al, 2016), toluene (Marciniak et al, 2016), and others (Boldyreva et al, 2002;Fabbiani et al, 2014). Thus, in the first series of experiments, the crystal of xylitol was grown in situ in a diamond-anvil cell (DAC) of the Merrill-Bassett type (Merrill & Bassett, 1974).…”
