Rj. Davey et al., POLYMORPHISM IN MOLECULAR-CRYSTALS - STABILIZATION OF A METASTABLE FORM BY CONFORMATIONAL MIMICRY, Journal of the American Chemical Society, 119(7), 1997, pp. 1767-1772
A combined modeling and experimental strategy has been applied to the
problem of stabilisation of a metastable conformational polymorph. For
the first time additives have been successfully selected which by vir
tue of their conformation are able to selectively inhibit the appearan
ce of the stable beta polymorph of L-glutamic acid and hence stabilize
the metastable alpha structure.
