Abstract: From pure powders of forms I and II of phenobarbital, X-ray diffraction patterns were recorded at room temperature. The starting crystal structural models were found by a Monte-Carlo simulated annealing method. The structures of the two forms were obtained through Rietveld refinements. Soft restraints were applied on bond lengths and bond angles, all H-atom positions were calculated. The cell of form I is monoclinic with the space group P21/n, Z = 12, Z' = 3. Form II has a triclinic cell, with the space group 
, Z = 6, Z' = 3. For both forms, the crystal cohesion is achieved by networks of N-H
O hydrogen bonds along [101]. The broadening of the Bragg peak profiles is interpreted in terms of isotropic strain effects and anisotropic size effects.
Keywords: X-ray powder diffraction; annealing method; phenobarbital.
