• 60 °C), GMPs assembled in a ribbon structure. The intermolecular energy for GMP, ≈101 kJ/mol, suggested the possibility of double hydrogen bond between GMPs in GL-R. We also verified that, once stabilized, GL-S or GL-R could be converted to the other phases by adjusting synthetic conditions like

• [30], where methanol addition was found to induce the formation of a ribbon structure. The addition of LPEI-dissolving methanol delays the crystallization process and this slow crystallization is beneficial for the formation of crystals with increased size. Moreover, we also developed a methanol
