In the preceding paper, we highlighted the ambiguity that exists in the literature concerning the nature of crystalline aspirin.[1] In 2004, Ouvrard and Price demonstrated computationally that the long-established aspirin crystal structure [2–4] was amongst those predicted to be most stable, but they identified a slightly more stable structure as the thermodynamic minimum.[5] At the time, it was unclear whether the predicted minimum-energy structure was a remnant of inadequate energy assessment,[6] or whether it was a plausible structure that awaited discovery. This issue appeared to be resolved in 2005, when Peterson, Zaworotko, and co-workers (hereafter referred to as PZ) claimed to have obtained the predicted second polymorph,[7] following X-ray analysis of aspirin crystals obtained from hot acetonitrile solution in the presence of either levetiracetam or acetamide. The proposed new polymorph was labelled aspirin “form II”, and the longestablished aspirin crystal structure was thereby designated “form I”.
