Discovery of three polymorphs of 7-fluoroisatin reveals challenges in using computational crystal structure prediction as a complement to experimental screening

Abstract: A combined computational and experimental polymorph search was undertaken to establish the crystal forms of 7-fluoroisatin, a simple molecule with no reported crystal structures, to evaluate the value of crystal structure prediction studies as an aid to solid form discovery. Three polymorphs were found in a manual crystallisation screen, as well as two solvates. Form I (P2 1 /c, Z 0 ¼ 1), found from the majority of solvent evaporation experiments, corresponded to the most stable form in the computational searc… Show more

“…54 However, predicting whether the solvate or cocrystal will be formed in preference to the pure compounds can be very demanding of the relative accuracy of the three crystal energies, even assuming that it is thermodynamically determined. 55 Thus, computing the crystal energy landscape and contrasting the packing motifs can provide valuable insight into the possible solid-state forms for a given molecule.…”

“…However, the restriction to Z 0 = 1 would miss many polymorphs, with the importance of Z 0 > 1 structures becoming more appreciated as crystallographers solve more such structures. 25 Whilst some Z 0 > 1 polymorphs are closely related to simpler Z 0 = 1 structures and can be viewed as trapped ''crystals on the way'' or incomplete crystallisations, or may be lower temperature polymorphs, there are structures that are intrinsically Z 0 > 1, for example the most stable polymorph of 7-fluoroisatin 26 (Fig. 5).…”

“…No crystal structures have been reported for 7‐fluoroisatin, so a combined computational and experimental search for polymorphs was undertaken to establish the crystal forms and to evaluate the value of crystal structure prediction studies as an aid to solid form discovery 27. The experimental work yielded three polymorphs and two solvates, but the computed relative energies of the three polymorphic forms were not in accord with the experimental results.…”
