Polymorphism of 1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene Induced by a Trisindane Additive

The most stable is not necessarily the most easy to obtain! Two new stable crystal forms of the 120 year old compound sym‐trinitrobenzene are reported. These elusive forms have been obtained by the use of an additive, trisindane, that can act as a mimic in the crystallization experiment (see scheme)...

Summary:The most stable is not necessarily the most easy to obtain! Two new stable crystal forms of the 120 year old compound sym‐trinitrobenzene are reported. These elusive forms have been obtained by the use of an additive, trisindane, that can act as a mimic in the crystallization experiment (see scheme).
