- 1 A crystal that can undergo a reversible transformation when heated above, or cooled below, a transition-point temperature.
"Since α-carbamazepine is a monotrope of γ-carbamazepine, and γ-carbamazepine is an enantiotrope of β-carbamazepine, the physical stability hierarchy depends on the transition temperature of β- and γ-carbamazepine."
