EXAMPLES

Examples, which follow herein, provide are directed to embodiments of the invention. The examples are presented to enable a person of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the various embodiments. Descriptions of specific devices, techniques, and applications are provided only as examples. Various modifications to the examples described herein will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, and the general principles described herein may be applied to other examples and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the various embodiments.

Analytical Techniques

XRPD patterns are obtained using a Bruker D8 Advance equipped with a Cu Ka radiation source (l=1.54 A), a 9-position sample holder and a LYNXEYE super speed detector. Samples are placed on zero-background, silicon plate holders for analysis. One skilled in the art would recognize that the °2Q values and the relative intensity values are generated by performing a peak search on the measured data and the ri-spacing values are calculated by the instrument from the °2Q values using Bragg’s equation. One skilled in the art would further recognize that the relative intensity for the measured peaks may vary as a result of sample preparation, orientation and instrument used, for example.

DSC data are collected using a TA Instruments Q10 DSC. Approximately, samples (2-8 mg) are placed in unsealed but covered hermetic alodined aluminum sample pans and scanned from about 30 to about 350 °C at a rate of about 10 °C/min under a nitrogen purge of about 50 mL/min.

Some of the DSC runs are generated on a TA Instruments Q2000 equipped with an auto-sampler and RSC40. The sampling is conducted at a ramp rate of about 10 °C/min from 20 °C to 320 °C using hermetic sealed aluminum sample pans. For mDSC (modulated DSC) data, samples are equilibrated at 5 °C with a ramp rate of 1.5 °C to 320 °C, modulated ±0.50 °C every 60 seconds.

TGA measurements are recorded using TA Q500 instrument. The samples are weighed in aluminum pans. TGA investigations are performed at a heating rate of 10.0 °C/min over a temperature range of from about 25 to about 300 °C, with purging with nitrogen at a flow rate of 60 mL/min.

'H-NMR data is collected using a Bruker Avance 300 MHz NMR equipped with TopSpin software. Samples are prepared by dissolving the compound in deuterated dimethylsulfoxide with 0.05% (v/v) tetramethylsilane (TMS). Spectra are collected at ambient temperature. The number of scans was 16 for 'H-NMR.

Crystalline morphology of samples are analyzed using an Olympus BX53 polarized light microscope equipped with a PAXcam 3 digital microscope camera.
