Non-stoichiometric carbamazepine cocrystal hydrates of 3,4-/3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acids: coformer-water exchange.

The cocrystallisation of carbamazepine (CBZ) with 3,4-/3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acids (34/35DHBA) with different stoichiometries formed molecular alloys, exchanging a water molecule, in their isostructural CBZ dihydrate form. Furthermore, we show a correlation between the mechanical properties of the CBZ-DHBA cocrystals with the amount of coformer present.

Mechanochemical Synthesis of Polymorphic Urea ⋠Adipic Acid Cocrystal as a Sustained-Release Nitrogen Source.

A 2 : 1 urea ⋅ adipic acid cocrystal was obtained in two polymorphic forms (Form I reported earlier, and Form II synthesized in this study) using mechanochemistry as well as solution crystallization. Lower solubility and leaching study showed the newly synthesized urea ⋅ adipic acid 2 : 1 cocrystal to be an efficient sustained-release nitrogen fertilizer compared to commercially available urea.
