Crystal or Glass? Chemical and Crystallographic Factors in the Amorphization of Molecular Materials
The creation of long-lived
amorphous phases has potential applications
in numerous fields; for example, the instability of the amorphous
phase leads to higher solubility of pharmaceutical phases, often leading
to higher bioavailability. The rate of recrystallization of an amorphous
phase poses a significant limitation to the application of many such
phases; however, understanding the energetic and structural factors
that control the stability of molecular amorphous phases is limited
by empirical classifications based on thermal analysis used to identify
materials. From a set of molecularly related benzanilides, examples
of all three classes have been identified, allowing use of crystal
structural analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and energetic calculations
to determine the structural factors playing a role in the different
stabilities. While the behavior of most systems reflects the relative
energy of the crystalline phase to the amorphous phase, kinetic factors
based on whether a NH···OC hydrogen bond is
present in the crystalline phase play a key role in stabilizing the
amorphous phase as the loss of this bond reduces the conversion rate.
In contrast, systems without this bond display fast recrystallization
due to the greater structural similarity between the amorphous and
crystalline phases
Frequency of identified alignment strategies used by subjects having iSD >9° at each Grade.

Individual changes in absolute errors.
<p>Plot of the change in absolute error between Grade 2 and Grade 6 against the initial Grade 2 error for control subjects. The solid line indicates zero error, the dotted line indicates the frame angle (18°).</p
Subjects exhibiting negative frame effects at the three Grades of testing.
<p>The number of subjects (%) showing iMean errors in the opposite direction to the frame tilt. The size of the negative frame effect was categorized as Mild (3°–6°), Moderate (6°–9°) and Strong (>9°). Subjects having iSDs greater than 9° were excluded from the analysis as showing inconsistent responses.</p

<p>A–E. Frame alignment errors with frame tilt −18° (counter clockwise). Rod aligned to –A, vertical; B, lateral side; C, upper right corner; D, upper left corner; E, upper side. A mirror set of errors is generated with the frame tilt clockwise (+18°). F, shaded −9° sectors used to quantify the corresponding alignment strategies in A–E; unshaded–sectors classified as ‘other’.
