摘要
A new polymorph of 5-fluorouracil has been obtained following a manual polymorph screen inspired by a computational crystal structure prediction search. It corresponds to the structure that was predicted to be the global minimum in lattice energy. The difficulty of crystallizing this simple structure with a rational hydrogen-bonding motif can be rationalized from the differential solvation of the functional groups.
