To demonstrate the selectivity of N-14 nuclear quadrupole resonance (N-14 NQR) spectroscopy in chemistry and pharmacy, a study of sulfanilamide polymorphism was undertaken. We studied 3 known polymorphs of sulfanilamide by N-14 NQR. We found at room temperature 2 sets of 3 N-14 NQR transition frequencies, corresponding to 2 different nitrogen sites in the crystal structure for each of 3 polymorphs. We measured the temperature dependence of all quadrupole frequencies nthorn, nu(+),nu(-). In each set, only 1 of the 3 N-14 NQR frequencies is enough to characterize the polymorph. Spin-lattice relaxation time (T-1) measurement is supplemental information. We also measured the transition temperature between polymorphs and estimated the ratio of polymorphs after thermal treatment of sample. (c) 2019 American Pharmacists Association (R).
