A new high-pressure polymorph of phosphoric acid.

ABSTRACT: The high-pressure structural behaviour of phosphoric acid is described. A compression study of the monoclinic phase, using neutron powder diffraction and X-ray single-crystal diffraction, shows that it converts to a previously unobserved orthorhombic phase on decompression. Compression of this new phase is reported up to 6.3?GPa. The orthorhombic phase is found to be more efficiently packed, with reduced void space, resulting in a larger bulk modulus. Molecule–molecule interaction energies reveal a more extensive network of increased attractive forces in the orthorhombic form relative to the monoclinic form, suggesting greater thermodynamic stability.

A new polymorph of dimesitylborinic acid.

Project description:A new polymorph of dimesitylborinic acid (or hydroxy-dimesitylborane), C(18)H(23)BO, showcasing different crystal packing and symmetry, complements the previously reported polymorph [Weese, Bartlett, Murray, Olmstead & Power (1987 ?). Inorg. Chem.26, 2409-2413; Entwistle, Batsanov & Marder (2007 ?). Acta Cryst. E63, o2639-o2641]. The structure of the title compound contains only one mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit, and no O-H?O inter-actions are observed. However, mol-ecules are linked by weak inter-molecuar O-H??(arene) inter-actions to form centrosymmetric dimers.

A new polymorph of 2,6-dimeth-oxy-benzoic acid.

Project description:A new crystalline form of 2,6-dimeth-oxy-benzoic acid, C(9)H(10)O(4), crystallizing in a tetra-gonal unit cell has been identified during screening for co-crystals. The asymmetric unit comprises a non-planar independent mol-ecule with a synplanar conformation of the carb-oxy group. The sterically bulky o-meth-oxy substituents force the carb-oxy group to be twisted away from the plane of the benzene ring by 65.72?(15)°. The carb-oxy group is disordered over two sites about the C-C bond [as indicated by the almost equal C-O distances of 1.254?(3) and 1.250?(3)?Å], the occupancies of the disordered carboxym H atoms being 0.53?(5) and 0.47?(5). In the known ortho-rhom-bic form reported by Swaminathan et al. [Acta Cryst. (1976), B32, 1897-1900], due to the anti-planar conformation adopted by the OH group, the mol-ecular components are associated in the crystal in chains stabilized by linear O-H?O hydrogen bonds. However, in the new tetra-gonal polymorph, mol-ecules form dimeric units via pairs of O-H?O hydrogen bonds between the carb-oxy groups.

A new polymorph of 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)acetic acid.

Project description:A new polymorph of 2-(benzotriazol-2-yl)acetic acid, C(8)H(7)N(3)O(2), crystallizes in the space group C2/c (Z = 8). The non-planar mol-ecule has a synplanar conformation of the carb-oxy group. The crystal structure features helices parallel to the b axis sustained by O-H?N hydrogen bonding which are similar to those in the known polymorph [Giordano & Zagari (1978 ?). J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. 312-315]. However, in the title structure, columns are formed by ?-? stacking inter-actions between benzotriazole fragments of centrosymmetrically related adjacent mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distances = 3.593?(10) and 3.381?(10)?Å] whereas ?-? stacking inter-actions are not observed in the other polymorph. In the crystal of the title compound, C-H?O inter-actions are also observed.

Combined crystal structure prediction and high-pressure crystallization in rational pharmaceutical polymorph screening.

Project description: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 pharmaceutical compound Dalcetrapib, with 10 torsional degrees of freedom one of the most flexible molecules ever studied computationally. The experimental crystal polymorphs are found at the bottom of the calculated lattice energy landscape, and two predicted structures are identified as candidates for a missing, thermodynamically more stable polymorph. Pressure-dependent stability calculations suggested high pressure as a means to bring these polymorphs into existence. Subsequently, one of them could indeed be crystallized in the 0.02 to 0.50 GPa pressure range and was found to be metastable at ambient pressure, effectively derisking the appearance of a more stable polymorph during late-stage development of Dalcetrapib.

(2R)-2-Benzene-sulfonamido-2-phenyl-ethanoic acid: a new monoclinic polymorph.

Project description:In the title compound, C(14)H(13)NO(4)S, a sulfonamide derivative of phenyl glycine, the aromatic rings are inclined at a dihedral angle of 28.03?(12)°. In the crystal, O-H?O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains propagating in [100] and a weak C-H?O interaction cross-links the chains in the c-axis direction. In the previously published polymorph, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 45.52?(18)° and the structure is stabilized by three different types of ring motif.

A closer look into close packing: pentacoordinated silicon in a high-pressure polymorph of danburite.

Project description:Due to their high technological and geological relevance, silicates are one of the most studied classes of inorganic compounds. Under ambient conditions, the silicon in silicates is almost exclusively coordinated by four oxygen atoms, while high-pressure treatment normally results in an increase in the coordination from four- to sixfold. Reported here is a high-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of danburite, CaB2Si2O8, the first compound showing a step-wise transition of Si coordination from tetrahedral to octahedral through a trigonal bipyramid. Along the compression, the Si2O7 groups of danburite first transform into chains of vertice-sharing SiO5 trigonal bipyramids (danburite-II) and later into chains of edge-sharing SiO6 octahedra (danburite-III). It is suggested that the unusual formation of an SiO5 configuration is a consequence of filling up the pentacoordinated voids in the distorted hexagonal close packing of danburite-II.

Chiral Phosphoric Acid Catalyzed Conversion of Epoxides into Thiiranes: Mechanism, Stereochemical Model, and New Catalyst Design.

Project description:Computations and experiments leading to new chiral phosphoric acids (CPAs) for epoxide thionations are reported. Density functional theory calculations reveal the mechanism and origin of the enantioselectivity of such CPA-catalyzed epoxide thionations. The calculated mechanistic information was used to design new efficient CPAs that were tested experimentally and found to be highly effective. Bulky ortho-substituents on the 3,3'-aryl groups of the CPA are important to restrict the position of the epoxide in the key transition states for the enantioselectivity-determining step. Larger para-substituents significantly improve the enantioselectivity of the reaction.

Tribenzoatobismuth(III): a new -polymorph.

Project description:A new polymorph (?) was obtained for an active pharmaceutical ingredient, bis-muth tribenzoate, [Bi(C(6)H(5)CO(2))(3)]. The new ?-polymorph is 1.05 times denser than the previously known polymorph [Rae et al. (1998 ?). Acta Cryst. B54, 438-442]. In the ?-polymorph, the Bi atom is linked with three benzoate anions, each of them acting as a bidentate ligand, and these assemblies with C(3) point symmetry can be considered as 'mol-ecules'. The structure of the ?-polymorph has no polymeric chains, in contrast to the previously known polymorph. The 'mol-ecules' in the ?-polymorph are stacked along [001], so that the phenyl rings of the neighbouring mol-ecules are parallel to each other. Based on the pronounced difference in the crystal structures, one can suppose that two polymorphs should differ in the dissolution kinetics and bioavailability.

An orthorhombic polymorph of mulinic acid.

Project description:THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: (3S,3aS,10bR)-3-isopropyl-5a,8-dimethyl-2,3,4,5,5a,6,7,10,10a,10b-deca-hydro-endo-epidioxy-cyclo-hepta-[e]indene-3a(1H)-carboxylic acid], C(20)H(30)O(4), is a polymorphic form of a previously reported structure [Loyola et al. (1990 ▶). Tetra-hedron, 46, 5413-5420]. The newly found ortho-rhom-bic polymorph crystallizes in P2(1)2(1)2(1) with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The mol-ecules are linked into discrete D(2) chains by simple O-H⋯O inter-actions. There are only slight variations in the mol-ecular geometry and supra-molecular organization in the crystal structures of the two polymorphs. The densities are 1.145 (monoclinic, P2(1)) and 1.155 Mg m(-3) (ortho-rhom-bic, P2(1)2(1)2(1)).

A new polymorph of 2,6-bis-(trifluoro-meth-yl)benzoic acid.

Project description:The asymmetric unit of a second polymorph of the title compound, C(9)H(4)F(6)O(2), contains five independent mol-ecules, which form hydrogen-bonded O-H?O dimers about inversion centers. The most significant structural difference between this structure and that of the first polymorph [Tobin & Masuda (2009 ?). Acta Cryst. E65, o1217] is the hydrogen-bonded, dimeric orientation of the carb-oxy-lic acid functionalities.
