Cover Story: A new crystalline phase of betaxolol (BE_IV), an API belonging to the class of β1-adrenergic blocking agents, is reported on and compared with the already known BE_I form. In both polymorphs, the most significant interaction is the H-bonds involving the OH group as a donor and the NH as an acceptor, while the interaction where OH works as the acceptor (NH acts as the donor) is definitely less important. The resulting H-bond patterns are, however, different: alternate R2,2(10) a > a (OH donors) and R2,2(10) b > b (OH acceptors) in BE_I vs. alternate R4,4 (8) a > b > a > b (OH donors) and R2,2 (10) b > b (OH acceptor) in BE_IV.
