What the paper reports

Researchers determined the structures of five vemurafenib polymorphs directly from compact spherulites using 3D electron diffraction. Three matched known single-crystal X-ray structures, while the method resolved a difficult delta form and a newly observed epsilon form. The work expands access to melt-grown polymorphs whose morphology or instability can frustrate conventional single-crystal analysis.

Why this paper is included

Highly relevant to polymorph-screening laboratories because it analyzes the screening product itself instead of requiring suitable isolated single crystals.

The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.
