Optical Dissymmetry of As‐Grown Twisted Paracetamol Crystals
Paracetamol crystalline form III grows just above the glass transition temperature as aggressively twisted fibers that thicken in successive stages, forming complex assemblies. The growth direction is parallel to a glide plane leading to heterochiral crystals. These enantiomorphs are not Pasteur-like polyhedra with hemihedral facets that are the tell-tale signs of dissymmetric form; here every surface is dissymmetric. The chiroptical properties of the heterochiral forms are assayed as they evolve directly in the solid state using complete polarimetry.
