with 2, 13 with 3, and 3 with 4 partners. Differences <strong>in</strong> molecular properties (P)<br />

(e.g. <strong>de</strong>nsity, molecular volume, pack<strong>in</strong>g coefficient, AAP-calculated pack<strong>in</strong>g<br />

energies and other thermodynamic properties) were computed between cluster<br />

members (i, j) as DP=P j–P i or DP=100(P j –P i)/P j (j > i) for a total of 204 data<br />

po<strong>in</strong>ts. Both monovariate and bivariate statistical analyses were performed on<br />

the data, yield<strong>in</strong>g several reveal<strong>in</strong>g trends and correlations. Histograms of differences<br />

respectively that differences <strong>in</strong> crystal pack<strong>in</strong>g energies, <strong>de</strong>nsities and lattice<br />

vibrational entropies for polymorphs are rather small while Fig. 6d reveals that<br />

an appreciable proportion (actually 18%) of polymorphs have Z¢ >1 (where Z¢<br />

is the number of molecules <strong>in</strong> the crystal asymmetric unit).Some further important<br />

conclusions drawn from this study are as follows: both calculated and experimental<br />

values for the relative stability of crystal polymorphs are currently<br />

subject to large uncerta<strong>in</strong>ties; polymorphs with Z¢ >1 are as stable, or even more<br />

stable than those with Z¢ = 1; higher crystal <strong>de</strong>nsity is, as expected, found to<br />
