| Abstract | 1,3-Bis(m-nitrophenyl)urea (MNPU) has been found to exist in two polymorphic forms (α and β). The white colour of the β-(polar) polymorph transforms to the yellow colour of the α-(centrosymmetric) polymorph on heating. The transformation can be followed by second-harmonic generation measurement as well as more conventional methods of infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. The β-form was further characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction and the crystal structure obtained was compared with the known structure of the α-form to rationalize why two crystalline forms exhibit different colours and second-order non-linear optical properties. The β-form crystallizes in a non-centrosymmetric space group (C2) with a= 20.95(1)Å, b= 4.712(3)Å, c= 6.715(4)Å, β= 104.96(5)°, Z= 2, dcalc= 1.56 g cm–3 and R= 0.050, whereas the α-form crystallizes in a centrosymmetric space group (P21/c). Both the α- and β-forms have a good agreement in bond distances and angles but they adopt quite different molecular conformations and hydrogen-bonding interactions. Based on the structural comparisons of the polymorphs of MNPU and other compounds, the colour change observed in the title compound could be due to the twisted conformation between the nitro and urea groups. Furthermore, the two-fold axis symmetry and the perpendicular conformation in the molecule of the β-form may be important to bias molecules to pack into a non-centrosymmetric crystal structure. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
