The relationships between the melting point, solubility and structure was investigated in a series of multicomponent crystals of fumaric and adipic acid.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an important class of porous materials with numerous potential applications. Molecular level understanding of various processes involving MOFs is very important in order to design porous materials with improved properties. Here we describe the elucidation by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCD) of three different phases of Zn(bdc)(bpy) at different pressures of CO. Moreover, this is a rare example where new space is created in the structure under gas pressure - space that was not previously occupied by guest molecules in any of the related structures. In addition to in situ SCD and sorption analysis, pressure-gradient differential scanning calorimetry (PG-DSC) provides very useful information about the system. This study represents the first instance where PG-DSC has been used to study the sorption behavior of a flexible porous framework.

Mechanochemical synthesis has been used to obtain two Werner complexes and their solid solution that could not be obtained by conventional "wet" chemistry; remarkably, despite the structural and chemical similarity, the solid solution exhibits sorption properties that differ from those of the pure compounds.

Pharmaceutical co-crystals of isoniazid and pyrazinamide could improve the stability of fixed-dose combinations used in TB treatment.
