Author Response: Intermitant fault with DX drive (sample to detector distance) led to one shell of data being unsuitable for inclusion in final refinement. Considering the decent quality of the final model and a reflections to parameters ratio > 10:1, we concluded that a repeat data collection was not required. |

For details on experimental methods used to obtain this form, see: Florence et al. (2003, 2006). For previous studies on the anhydrous form of the title compound, see: Dupont & Dideberg (1970); Shankland et al. (1997); for solvated forms, see: Johnston et al. (2007a,b). Intermolecular interactions in polymorphs and solvates of the related thiazide diuretic hydrochlorothiazide have also been studied (Johnston et al., 2007).
A single-crystal sample of the title compound was recrystallized from a saturated formic acid solution by isothermal solvent evaporation at 278 oK.
The H-atoms attached to O or N-atoms were located by difference synthesis and refined isotropically. All other H-atoms were constrained to idealized geometries using a riding model with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C) and C—H=0.95 Å.
Chlorothiazide (CT) is a thiazide diuretic drug that is known to crystallize in at least one non-solvated form (Dupont & Dideberg, 1970; Shankland et al., 1997). The title compound was produced as part of an automated parallel crystallization study (Florence et al., 2006) of CT as part of a wider investigation that couples automated parallel crystallization with crystal structure prediction to investigate the basic science underlying the solid-state diversity of CT and the related thiazide diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide (Johnston et al., 2007). The sample was identified as a novel form using multi-sample foil transmission X-ray powder diffraction analysis (Florence et al., 2003). Subsequent manual recrystallization from a saturated formic acid solution by slow evaporation at 278 K yielded a sample suitable for single-crystal x-ray diffraction (Fig. 1).
The molecules crystallize in space group (P21/c) with one chlorothiazide (CT) and two solvent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure contains one N—H···N contact between CT molecules that forms an infinite chain of CT extending in the [101] direction. Molecules of CT also stack in the direction of the c axis with a further two N—H···O contacts between CT and each solvent molecule (residues B and C). In addition, two O—H···O interactions connect residue C with residues A and B (Table 1).
The contacts combine to form a layered structure (Fig. 2) comprising alternating layes of CT molecules (residue A) and solvent molecules (residues B and C) in the [010] direction.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Chlorothiazide (CT) is a thiazide diuretic drug that is known to crystallize in at least one non-solvated form (Dupont & Dideberg, 1970; Shankland et al., 1997). The title compound was produced as part of an automated parallel crystallization study (Florence et al., 2006) of CT as part of a wider investigation that couples automated parallel crystallization with crystal structure prediction to investigate the basic science underlying the solid-state diversity of CT and the related thiazide diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide (Johnston et al., 2007). The sample was identified as a novel form using multi-sample foil transmission X-ray powder diffraction analysis (Florence et al., 2003). Subsequent manual recrystallization from a saturated formic acid solution by slow evaporation at 278 K yielded a sample suitable for single-crystal x-ray diffraction (Fig. 1).
The molecules crystallize in space group (P21/c) with one chlorothiazide (CT) and two solvent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure contains one N—H···N contact between CT molecules that forms an infinite chain of CT extending in the [101] direction. Molecules of CT also stack in the direction of the c axis with a further two N—H···O contacts between CT and each solvent molecule (residues B and C). In addition, two O—H···O interactions connect residue C with residues A and B (Table 1).
The contacts combine to form a layered structure (Fig. 2) comprising alternating layes of CT molecules (residue A) and solvent molecules (residues B and C) in the [010] direction.
