Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel crystalline form of methyl 4-amino-3-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(7- fluoro- l//-indol-6-yl)picolinatc according to formula (1), to a process for its preparation, to agrochemical formulations comprising the novel crystalline form, to its use for the for the production of a formulation with increased stability and to its use in plant protection applications, especially to its use as a herbicide.
  • Polymorphism is the ability of a compound to crystallize in different crystalline phases with different arrangements and/or conformations of the molecules in the crystal lattice. Hence, polymorphs are different crystalline forms of the same pure chemical compound. On account of the different arrangement and/or conformation of molecules, polymorphs exhibit different physical, chemical and biological properties. Properties which may be affected include but are not limited solubility, dissolution rate, stability, optical and mechanical properties, etc.
  • the relative stability of a polymorph depends on its free energy, i.e. a more stable polymorph has a lower free energy. Under a defined set of experimental conditions only one polymorph has the lowest free energy. This polymorph is the thermodynamically stable form and all other polymorph(s) is (are) termed metastable form(s).
  • a metastable form is one that is thermodynamically unstable but can nevertheless be prepared, isolated and analyzed as a result of its relatively slow rate of transformation.
  • the occurrence of active substances in different polymorphic forms (hereinafter also named as polymorphs or crystalline forms) is of decisive importance for the production in industrial scale as well as for the development of formulations containing the active substance, as unwanted phase change can lead to thickening and potentially solidification of the formulation and/or large crystals, which can lead to blockages in application equipment, e.g. in spray nozzles in agricultural application machinery.
  • the knowledge of the existence of crystalline modifications and their properties is thus of high relevance.
  • Each polymorph is characterized by a specific, uniform packing and arrangement of the molecules in the solid state.
  • a solvate is a crystalline molecular compound in which molecules of the solvent of crystallisation are incorporated into the host lattice, consisting of unsolvated molecules.
  • a hydrate is a special case of a solvate, when the incorporated solvent is water. The presence of solvent molecules in the crystal lattice influences the intermolecular interactions and confers unique physical properties to each solvate.
  • a solvate thus has its own characteristic values of internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy, and thermodynamic activity.
