The high-temperature phase I of anhydrous caffeine was obtained by heating and annealing the purified commercial form II at 450 K. This phase I can be maintained at low temperature in a metastable state. A powder X-ray diffraction pattern was recorded at 278 K with a laboratory diffractometer equipped with an INEL curved position-sensitive detector CPS120. Phase I is dynamically orientationally disordered (the so-called plastic phase). The Rietveld refinements were achieved with rigid-body constraints. It was assumed that on each site, a molecule can adopt three preferential orientations with equal occupation probability. Under a deep undercooling of phase I, below 250 K, the metastable state enters in a glassy crystal state.
