Abstract:
Crystal polymorphs of 1,8-naphthyridine derivative, being anti and syn conformers, show a reversible transformation from anti to syn by heating and from syn to anti by grinding with the alteration of emittance intensity, and notably, thermal transformation from anti to syn conformer took place in single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SC-to-SC) form, which was confirmed by a single crystal X-ray crystallography.
