Pd(II) phthalocyanine (PdPc) was obtained by reaction of PdCl2 with phthalimide and urea in the presence of ammonium molybdate in boiling nitrobenzene, resulting in a good yield equal to 68%. This method has not been used previously. The following polymorphic forms were obtained: metastable α- and γ-PdPc, not previous described in the literature, and stable β-PdPc. The IR spectra and X-ray powder diffraction spectra of these phases were measured and interpreted. The results were compared with the literature data on polymorphic forms of other phthalocyanines. At this time we do not know if any of the PdPc polymorphs are isomorphous with the various forms of nickel, copper, and platinum phthalocyanine.

With a new emphasis on the control of polymorphism in pharmaceutical production, the need for methods to quantify polymorphic forms has arisen. Techniques using X-ray powder diffraction are increasingly being used to characterize the phases of drug substances that exist in multiple crystal forms. Current methods to identify the polymorphic phases in a drug substance include microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis (DSC/TGA), solid state NMR, and X-ray powder diffraction. Of the aforementioned techniques, X-ray powder diffraction provides the most effective approach to identify and quantify the different crystal phases of a pharmaceutical compound. This work is intended as a guide to the characterization and quantification of an organic crystalline system using X-ray diffraction. The approaches suggested are intended to provide assistance not only from an in-process pharmaceutical manufacturing standpoint, but also for routine quality assurance screening of polymorphic drug substances.

The pharmaceutical compound bicifadine hydrochloride, which has been found to crystallize in two polymorphic forms, has been characterized by thermal analysis, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. A series of 22 sample mixtures of polymorph 1 and polymorph 2 were prepared and calibration models for the quantitation of these binary mixtures have been developed for each of the XRPD, attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-IR, and ATR-NIR analytical techniques. The quantitative results were obtained using a partial least squares (PLS) algorithm, which predicted the concentration of polymorph 1 from the XRPD spectra with a root mean standard error of prediction (RMSEP) of 4.4%, from the IR spectra with a RMSEP of 3.8%, and from the NIR spectra with a RMSEP of 1.4%. The studies indicate that when analyses are carried out on equivalent sets of spectra, NIR spectroscopy offers significant advantages in quantitative accuracy as a tool for the determination of polymorphs in the solid state and is also more convenient to use than both the ATR-IR and XRPD methods. Density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP calculations and IR spectral simulation have been used to determine the nature of the vibrational modes that are the most sensitive in the analysis.

X-ray powder diffraction is one of the methods used for detection and analysis of polymorphic forms of pharmaceutical substances. The article elucidates the concept of polymorphism, briefly explains physical characteristics of this phenomenon, conditions of polymorphic transformations and the prevalence of polymorphic forms among drug substances. It should be noted that polymorphism is observed in drug substances belonging to different pharmacologic  classes. Polymorphic  forms of the same drug substance have different solubility, melting point,  resistance to oxidation and to other destructive processes, and, consequently, different surface properties which affect both the rate of absorption of the drug substances and their stability as components of dosage forms. This calls for the need to control the quality of drug substances for potential presence of polymorphic forms. The use of diffraction methods for examination of cryomodified forms of various biologically active compounds obtained by evaporation and subsequent precipitation at low temperatures resulted in obtaining polycrystalline substances with new properties. The article provides results of examination of crystalline modifications of phenazepam  in the form of α- and β-polymorphs, tilorone, fabomotizole, zolendronic acid and dehydroepiandrosterone. It was demonstrated that the use of X-ray diffraction analysis for examination and quality control of polymorphic forms of drugs is a necessary component of identification testing.

2,4-Dioxo-1,3-diazetidine-1,3-bis(methyl-m-phenylene) diisocyanate (dimerized toluene-2,4-diisocyanate, TDI) is one of the most widely used aromatic diisocyanates in the polymer industry, and it crystallizes in at least two polymorphic forms (form A and form B) depending on reaction conditions. The crystal structures of the two forms were determined from high-resolution laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data using simulated annealing and Rietveld refinement. In spite of a marked structural similarity between them, significant discrepancies in the physical properties of the two forms prompted analysis of their partitioned energy terms in an effort to better our understanding of the driving force behind such differences in behaviour.
