What is it about?

Polymorphism is important in drugs, agrochemicals, and energetic materials. The role of intermolecular interactions is important as this has implications in the physico-chemical properties. The quantitative evaluation of interactions have been done.

Why is it important?

This is important as polymorphism has implications in the drug industry wherein drug delivery is a function of solubility, dissolution rate, and permeability characteristics of the different crystalline forms of the drug.

Perspectives

The role of energetics governs lattice energy of the solid and overall the different computational tools used in this study enables us to appreciate the significance of interaction in the design of solids by Nature.
