I am wondering if anyone has observed a instance in which a molecule and a partially deuterated form of that molecule preferentially crystallize as different polymorphs. In my specific case, it is a dimethylphenanthrene; one form has two CH3 groups, the other CH3 and CD3, and they appear as different polymorphs. For the deuterated case, Z' = 2, whereas for the undeuterated case Z' = 1, when crystallized under as nearly identical conditions as I can produce.
