The transitions generally involve a transitional melt phase which is quickly followed by recrystallisation. The expansions of the unit cell as a function of temperature could be quantified and allow us to determine a directional order of stability in relation to the lattice constants. Dihydrocarbamazepine form II undergoes a conversion to form I by a localized melt phase. Carbamazepine (CBZ) form IV converts to form I at 182 oC, by either a solid-solid pathway or a localised intermediate melt phase. CBZ form II converted to form I at 119 oC by a pathway that appears to have included some melting, and form III underwent a part melt-recrystallisation and a part sublimation-recrystallisation to form I.}, issn = {1521-3765} }
