Abstract
The phase characterisation and morphologies of forms I and II of terep hthalic acid are presented. The structural nature of the II --> I poly morphic phase transition has been explored and form I shown to be more stable at room temperature and pressure. A new mechanism is proposed for the apparent stability of multiply twinned samples of form I.
