Polymorphs, crystals with different structure and properties but the same molecular composition, arise from the subtle interplay between thermodynamics and kinetics during crystallisation. In this opinion piece, the authors review the latest developments in the field of polymorphism and discuss standing open questions.
多晶型物是指具有不同结构和性质但分子组成相同的晶体,它们是在结晶过程中热力学和动力学之间微妙的相互作用产生的。在这篇观点文章中,作者回顾了多晶型领域的最新进展,并讨论了悬而未决的问题。
