Crystal structures of polymorphs of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl) benzimidazole (HPBI), Forms alpha and beta, are analyzed by X-ray crystallography. The fluorescence excitation (FE) and fluorescence spectra of the polymorphs are separately observed at temperatures 77-298 K. It has been found that the electronic spectra of the two crystal forms are significantly different from each other. Photo-excitation of the enol forms in Forms alpha and beta induces the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) to produce the S-1 state of the keto forms. In the FE spectra of Form alpha and beta, the S-1
