Disorderly Conduct of Benzamide IV: Crystallographic and Computational Analysis of High Entropy Polymorphs of Small Molecules

Noalle Fellah, Alex Shtukenberg, and coworkers report in Crystal Growth & Design the structure of a new (fourth) polymorph of benzamide, a simple derivative of benzoic acid and a common intermediate of pharmaceutical compounds. The highly disordered form exhibits a bewildering crystallographic complexity due to 2D stacking faults and organizes like a mismatched stack of building blocks. Link to the article here.
