Explore polymorphism in organic compounds through a thermodynamic lens in this 40-minute virtual seminar presented by Prof. Manuel Minas da Piedade from Universidade de Lisboa. Examine the fascinating journey from individual organic molecules to crystal structures and their functional applications, with particular emphasis on how thermodynamic principles govern polymorphic behavior. Discover how different crystal forms of the same compound can exhibit varying properties and functionalities, and learn to analyze these transformations using thermodynamic frameworks. Gain insights into the practical implications of polymorphism in pharmaceutical, materials science, and chemical engineering applications, while understanding the fundamental energy considerations that drive molecular organization in solid-state systems.
