The solution and mechanochemical synthesis of two cocrystals that differ in the stoichiometric ratio of the components (stoichiometric cocrystals) is reported. The components in the stoichiometric cocrystals interact through hydrogen or hydrogen/halogen bonds and differ in π-stacking arrangements. The difference in structure and noncovalent interactions affords dramatically different thermal expansion behaviors in the two cocrystals. At certain molar ratios, the cocrystals are obtained concomitantly; however, by varying the ratios, a single stoichiometric cocrystal is achieved using mechanochemistry.

New cocrystals and a salt-cocrystal intermediate system involving the antifungal drug flucytosine (FCY) and various coformers including caffeic acid (CAF), 2-chloro-4-nitrobenzoic acid (CNB), hydroquinone (HQN), resorcinol (RES) and catechol (CAL), are reported. The crystal structures of the prepared multicomponent systems were determined through SC-XRD analysis and characterized by different solid-state techniques. All FCY multicomponent systems crystallize in anhydrous form with different stoichiometric ratios.

Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) composed of multicomponent molecules in a non-stoichiometric composition have drawn great interest due to their tunable properties. However, the photobehavior of the single crystals of such mixed HOFs has not been explored. Here, we report on the synthesis, characterization and photobehavior of single crystalline non-stoichiometric HOFs (NS-HOFs).

While pharmaceutical Cocrystals have long been acknowledged as a promising method of enhancing a drugs bioavailability, they have not yet experienced widespread industrial adoption on the same scale as other multi-component drugs, such as salts and amorphous solid dispersions. This is partly due to the lack of a being no definitive screening strategy to identify suitable coformers, with the most cocrystal screening strategies heavily relying on trial and error approaches, or through utilizing a multiple and often conflicting, computational screening techniques combined with high material consumption experimental techniques. From the perspective of industry, this can often lead to high material waste and increased costs, encouraging the prioritization of more traditional bioenhancement techniques.

Construction of π-π stacking supramolecular complexes with more than two different components is challenging due to the weak and directionless nature of dispersion interactions. Here, we report ternary complexes of a ditopic nanographene tetraimide (), α-substituted phthalocyanine (), and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in solution and the crystalline state via allosteric regulation. Binding of one gives rise to significant distortion and conformational changes in that in turn lead to the inhibition of the second binding of .
