“…[30] In most cases, the differences between the (RS), (S), and (R) species are small but statistically significant, but the quantitative order is not obvious, and additional studies on the thermodynamics of optically active compounds could contribute to a better understanding of the trends in the (RS), (S), and (R) species as a function of the structure of the chiral compounds. [30] The lesson we have learnt from the studies of chiral compounds is that the differences between the vapour pressures of the racemate and the enantiopure compound are not large and are usually of the same order of magnitude. In this context, it was very surprising that the sublimation vapour pressures of of S-(+)-ibuprofen and RS-(�)-ibuprofen reported by Perlovich et al [11] are very different, as shown in Figure 3.…”
