(a) Illustrating archetype structures extracted from the disordered structure of imipenem monohydrate. (b) Overview of solid-state phenomena linked by archetypes. On the vertical axis, disordered structures are a superposition of archetypes of similar energy, usually within small ΔE ≃ R·T, whereas polymorphs are distinct crystal structures, also with a small ΔE between them. We note that a similar ΔE rationale will also be underlying phase transitions. |
