10. Thus, in the refs 1b and 4 one can read that "the eutectic composition is predicted to preferentially sublime regardless of the initial composition", while in the authoritative review (ref 1a) and articles 7a,b one can find a conclusion that the "sublimation process for both the racemate and the enantiomer was found to be enthalpy driven." Furthermore, in refs 1b and 4 one can read that "the modification with the lowest melting point should exhibit the greater volatility and should sublime preferentially.", while in the authoritative review (ref 1a) one can find totally opposite statement: "It is important to note that it is not always the lowest melting form that sublimes preferentially.
11. As suggested by one of the reviewers, the term "sublimation" used in the paper refers to a kinetic process of evaporative sublimation rather than a thermodynamic phase transition.
