“…13 It would seem that all five polymorphs had been seen and described by 1947, but not clearly differentiated. 1,2,11,12,14 Furthermore, we have shown that the common material of commerce does not have the polymorphic structure described by Kruger and Gafner,15 as has been assumed for a quarter of a century, but has the structure first determined by Babilev et al 16 The sources of confusion which have led to this unusual situation are 5-fold, namely the irreproducibility of the crystallization, the tendency to crystallize as mixtures, the close similarity in structure and properties of three of the polymorphs, the sample-to-sample variability in stability, and the differences between the pharmaceutical and crystallographic enumeration of the polymorphs. In order for the present discussion to be clear, Table 1 sets out the nomenclature of the polymorphs.…”
