30. We note that (1) all compounds have been prepared with the same crystallization process; (2) all of the materials are soluble so that they have been purified following the state-of-the-art method such as silica gel chromatography; (3) morphology analysis does not show significant structural defects; (4) the two polymorphic crystals have been obtained from the same precursor and so they have exactly the same impurity concentration.
