| Abstract: | A new crystal form of 2‐methyl‐6‐nitroaniline, C7H8N2O2, crystallizing with Z′ = 2 in the space group P21/c, has been identified during screening for salts and cocrystals. The different N—H...O hydrogen‐bonding synthons result in linear V‐shaped chains in the new polymorph, rather than the helical chain arrangement seen in the known form where Z′ = 1. The presence of a second component during crystallization appears to have determined the resultant crystal form of 2‐methyl‐6‐nitroaniline. |
