The relationships between the melting point, solubility and structure was investigated in a series of multicomponent crystals of fumaric and adipic acid.
The crystal structure, thermal analysis and powder X-ray analysis of the multicomponent crystals formed between baclofen and selected monocarboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acids and p-toluene sulfonic acid are presented.
Comparison of chiral and racemic binary cocrystals showed that the chiral building block limits the formation of certain intermolecular interactions, decreases the packing efficiency, lowers the melting point and increases aqueous solubility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
