description Two monoclinic (<i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>/<i>c</i>; <i>Z</i>′ = 1) polymorphs, <b>α</b> (from methanol) and <b>β</b> (from ethanol, n-propanol and iso-propanol), of a bioactive pyrazolo[3,4-<i>d</i>]pyrimidine derivative have been isolated and characterised by X-ray crystallography as well as by a range of computational chemistry techniques. The different conformations observed for the molecules in the crystals are due to the dictates of molecular packing as revealed by geometry-optimisation calculations. The crucial difference in the molecular packing pertains to the formation of phenylamino-N–H···N(pyrazolyl) hydrogen bonding within supramolecular chains with either helical (<b>α</b>-form; 2<sub>1</sub>-screw symmetry) or zigzag (<b>β</b>-form; glide symmetry). As a consequence, the molecular packing is quite distinct in the polymorphs. Lattice energy calculations indicate the <b>β</b>-form is more stable by 11 kJ/mol than the <b>α</b>-form.
