aThe matrix (100001¯1¯01¯) transforms the room temperature data reported by Williams [36] (a = 12.66, b = 6.75, c = 27.69 Å; β = 106.9°; P21/c) into a unit cell (a′ = 12.66, b′ = 6.75, c′ = 26.89 Å; β’ = 99.9°; P21/n) which matches our data

bThe structure model for form X (Additional file 1: Section 8) was derived from the isostructural co-crystal of Pbtl with pentobarbital (the quoted CCDC refcode, unit cell data and T exp all refer to the co-crystal)

c E T,Cry not determined because of Z > 2

dNot applicable

eExists only in a melt-film preparation and in the presence of a structurally analogous second barbiturate

fBased on the results of SCDS-PIXEL calculations, corrected for ΔE intra
