The names of forms in Table 1 are misleading. The original patent had a mixture of forms at “Form 1” and Form 2 was the only neat polymorph. Hence WIMBAV and WIMBAV01 are misnamed. WIMBAV06 and WIMBAV07 are actually a solid solution of the R and S enantiomers. WIMBAC08-13 are from our paper, so I want to go with that naming. The colors are from a Crystal Packing Similarity search in Mercury, so are valid.
