Fig. 8. Polymorphs A–D of pyraz<strong>in</strong>e carboxami<strong>de</strong> (PYRAZIN). A possible fifth polymorph<br />

E is very similar to A<br />

dimorphic and polymorphism is easy because there are several types of compet<strong>in</strong>g<br />

hydrogen bond donor (phenolic and carboxylic H-atoms) and acceptor<br />

(phenol, carboxyl and carbonyl O-atoms) groups and also because the carboxyl<br />

groups can have dimer 1 and catemer 2 arrangements. Inspection of Fig. 9 shows<br />

that the two forms of LEZJAB are dist<strong>in</strong>ctive. The relationships between the<br />

polymorphs of the other hydroxybenzoic acids are similar and <strong>in</strong>volve different<br />

comb<strong>in</strong>ations of <strong>in</strong>tra- and <strong>in</strong>termolecular hydrogen bond<strong>in</strong>g. Essentially, the
