Xj. Gu et W. Jiang, CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYMORPHIC FORMS OF FLUCONAZOLE USING FOURIER-TRANSFORM RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPY, Journal of pharmaceutical sciences, 84(12), 1995, pp. 1438-1441
Detailed Fourier transform Raman spectra of fluconazole have been reco
rded and the main spectral features of fluconazole have been assigned
to its vibrational modes. Two different polymorphic forms of fluconazo
le were identified in two spectral regions, 150-1700 cm(-1) and 2700-3
200 cm(-1), respectively. The FT-Raman results agree well with those o
f differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray powder diffractometry. T
he combination pf definiteness with easy sample handling makes FT-Rama
n spectroscopy a valuable technique for the analysis of polymorphs.
