Carbamazepine (CBZ) is known for its variety of anhydrous and hydrous polymorphs. Herein, a thorough analysis of the crystallization behavior of CBZ is presented. The influence of the solvent and the concentration on the crystallization behavior under different environmental conditions is investigated by combined in situ XRD and Raman spectroscopy measurements. Crystallization studies conducted via conventional crystallization in glass tubes and in levitated droplets using an acoustic levitator indicate a dependence of the crystallization process from solvent and surface.
The crystallization of a highly polymorphic compound was studied in situ by combined time-resolved X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Any influences of solid surfaces, temperature, and humidity on the crystallization were omitted by the use of a specially designed acoustic levitator. Investigations of polymorphic phase transitions during the crystallization process in different solvents allowed a structure assignment from first crystalline assemblies to final crystalline form. For the first time, it was possible to yield pure phases of selected polymorphs of the model compound ROY (5-methyl-2-[(2-nitrophenyl)amino]-3-thiophenecarbonitrile) directly from solution. The influence of the solvent on the final products and transient phases during the crystallization process was elucidated.
