Norfloxacin sesquihydrate.

IN THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(piperazin-4-ium-1-yl)-1,4-dihydro-quinoline-3-carboxyl-ate sesquihydrate], C(16)H(18)FN(3)O(3)·1.42H(2)O, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds assemble the mol-ecules in a two-dimensional layered corrugated sheet structure parallel to the b axis. The water mol-ecules are disordered [occupancies 0.

Bis[5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-8H-2-azonia-4,8,9-trizabicyclo[4.3.0]nona-2,6,9(1)-triene] sulfate.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, 2C(5)H(5)N(4)O(+)·SO(4) (2-), N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds assemble the mol-ecules into a two-dimensional network structure parallel to the cb plane. The S atom of the sulfate ion lies on a special position on a twofold axis.

Saccharin as a salt former. Enhanced solubilities of saccharinates of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Saccharin, acting as a weak acid, forms salts with basic APIs and these salts have the desirable property of enhanced water solubility.
