Intergrowth polymorphism refers to the existence of distinct structural domains within a single crystal of a compound. The phenomenon is exhibited by form II of the active pharmaceutical ingredient felodipine, and the associated microstructure is a significant feature of the compound's structural identity. Employing the technique of nanoindentation on form II reveals a bimodal mechanical response on specific single-crystal faces, demonstrating distinct properties for two polymorphic forms within the same crystal.
