Abstract

• Different polymorphs have different intensive physical properties and it is still impossible to predict from scratch if a change in the crystallization conditions will result in different crystal structures or not. In this contribution, possible correlations are highlighted among charge density features, molecular conformation and interaction energetics in the two known polymorphic forms of (DTC)[1,2], an isothiazole ? - sultamic derivative. A tentative rationale is provided for the relative stability of the two forms on the basis of their different self - recognition patterns. Both polymorphs crystallize in the same P2?/n space group and show very different non - covalent networks of weak C -H-- X (X = N,O,?) interactions due to the dissimilar conformation of the asymmetric units (ASU). Accurate multi - temperature (100 K <= T <= 298 K) single - crystal X - Ray diffraction experim ents were carried out and the evolution of crystal packing and self - recognition energetics were monitored through periodic quantum - mechanical calculations at fixed geometries. Preliminary results show that dispersive/repulsive and electrostatic non - covalen t interactions dominate the crystal packing in both polymorphs. At T=100 K the form A have a tighter packing, as it shows a greater propensity in being involved in H bonds than B (see the Hirshfeld surface fingerprint plots[3] of forms A - left - and B - rig ht - here reported). This reflects in greater density, whereas the estimated DFT cohesive energies of the two forms are similar. DTC has enough molecular flexibility to access various favourab le arrangements during the nucleation, as the interconversion bet ween the A and B conformers in the gas phase takes place with a very small activation energy. The possible role of the solvent in favouring either of the two observed conformations is discussed (literal)
