Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a method of crystallising a compound comprising either: (i) providing a first confined solution comprising the compound; and adding more of the compound to and/or increasing the degree of saturation of the first confined solution, whereby to provide a resultant second confined solution that comprises more compound and/or that has a greater degree of supersaturation relative to a confined supersaturated solution of the same compound stabilised solely by being confined; or (ii) providing a first confined melt comprising the compound; and cooling and/or increasing the pressure of the first confined melt, whereby to provide a resultant second confined melt that is cooler and/or is more pressurised relative to a confined super-cooled melt of the same compound stabilised solely by being confined, whereby to effect the crystallising under confinement and under thermodynamic control.
