The changing face of cisplatin : The complete crystal structures, including the details of extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding in two enantiotropic polymorphs of the chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin, have been elucidated. A massive thermal hysteresis effect exists between the two polymorphs, α and β, that are active at ambient temperatures.
