چکیده

A synthetic strategy is described for the co-crystallization of four- and five-component molecular crystals, based on the fact that if any particular chemical constituent of a lower cocrystal is found in two different structural environments, these differences may be exploited to increase the number of components in the solid. 2-Methylresorcinol and tetramethylpyrazine are basic template molecules that allow for further supramolecular homologation. Ten stoichiometric quaternary cocrystals and one quintinary cocrystal with some solid solution character are reported. Cocrystals that do not lend themselves to such homologation are termed synthetic dead ends.

Recent advances in opportunities for solving molecular crystal structures directly from powder diffraction data: new insights in crystal engineering contexts{

Crystalline solids that can be prepared only as microcrystalline powders are not suitable for structural investigation using single crystal diffraction techniques, and it is necessary instead to carry out structure determination using powder diffraction data. In this paper we highlight recent advances in the opportunities for solving molecular crystal structures directly from powder diffraction...

Charge density and optical properties of multicomponent crystals containing active pharmaceutical ingredients or their analogues.

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), through their favourable donor/acceptor spatial distribution and synthon formation flexibility, are attractive building blocks in modern materials crystallography. The optical properties of a crystal strongly depend on two factors, i.e. the spatial distribution of molecules in the crystal structure and the electronic properties of molecular building blo...

Are Oxygen and Sulfur Atoms Structurally Equivalent in Organic Crystals?

New guidelines for the design of structurally equivalent molecular crystals were derived from structural analyses of new cocrystals and polymorphs of saccharin and thiosaccharin, aided by a computational study. The study shows that isostructural crystals may be obtained through an exchange of >CO with >CS in the molecular components of the solids, but only if the exchanged atom is not involve...
