abstract: Nearly twenty years ago, Dunitz and Bernstein described a selection of intriguing cases of polymorphs that disappear. The inability to obtain a crystal form that has previously been prepared is indeed a frustrating and potentially serious problem for solid-state scientists. This review discusses recent occurrences and examples of disappearing polymorphs (as well as the emergence of elusive crystal forms) to demonstrate the enduring relevance of this troublesome but always captivating phenomenon in solid-state research. A number of these instances have been central issues in patent litigations. This review therefore also highlights the complex relationship between crystal chemistry and the law.
