Polymorphism in Molecular Crystals
«excellent and very informative. . . Many well selected examples are discussed which guide a new researcher into the field. It is also a fantastic source of historical, fundamental and up to date papers and reviews (110 pages of references). This book then can be read by a beginner in the field but also by an active researcher in polymorphism, crystal engineering or crystal chemistry.»

Most people are familiar with the fact that diamond and graphite are both composed only of carbon; yet they have very different properties which result from the very different structures of the two solids - they are polymorphs of carbon. Les mer
Most people are familiar with the fact that diamond and graphite are both composed only of carbon; yet they have very different properties which result from the very different structures of the two solids - they are polymorphs of carbon. Understanding the relationship between the structures and the properties of materials is of fundamental importance in developing and producing new materials with improved or new properties. The existence of polymorphic systems
allows the direct study of the connection between structures and properties. This book provides grounding on the fundamental structural and energetic basis for polymorphism, the preparation and characterization of polymorphic substances and its importance in the specific areas of pharmaceuticals, pigments
and high energy (explosive) materials. The closing chapter describes the intellectual property implications and some of the precedent patent litigations in which polymorphism has played a central role. The book contains over 2500 references to provide a ready entry into the relevant literature.

«Review from previous edition Joel Bernstein's book represents the single most important source for the development of critical understanding of polymorphism and its commercial and industrial importance and might well play a decisive role in categorizing and reorganizing problems and endeavours on polymorphism-related research.»
Current Engineering Practice
«... an excellent resource book and a very good read ... can be recommended strongly both for content and interest.»
Crystallographic Newsletter
«... a delight to review this eagerly awaited tome ... In the end, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and in my opinion, Bernstein has served us a nutritional feast here. Enjoy!»

«It will be the book, for a long time to come, to which students and researchers will turn with confidence, as well as pleasure, in all questions of polymorphism in molecular crystals.»
