copper(II) complexgel phase crystallisationcrystal habit modificationisonicotinate-N-oxideX-ray diffractionWe report the crystallisation of three forms of copper(II) isonicotinate-N-oxide complex and their phase interconversion via solvent-mediated crystal to crystal transformation. The different forms of copper complex have been isolated and characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Gel phase crystallisation performed in hydrogels, low molecular weight gels and gels of tailored gelator showed crystal habit modification. Crystallisation in aqueous ethanol resulted in concomitant formation of blue (form-I) and green (form-II/IV) crystals while use of low molecular weight gel results in selective crystallization of the blue form-I under identical conditions. Comparison of gel phase and the solution state crystallisation in various solvent compositions reveals that the blue form-I is the thermodynamically stable form under ambient conditions.202018-11-07 07:59:11Delo ni kategorizirano4199COBISS_ID: 5266427DOI: 10.1039/C8NJ05036HNUK URN: URN:SI:UNG:REP:POFKUQKUsl
