With the analysis of evolution curves of potential energy based on exponential function, we obtain the overall characteristic time. Via a description of the total package reaction with classical Arrhenius law, we obtain the activation energy of CL20/BTF co-crystal: Ea=60.8 kcal/mol. Based on the initial path of CL20/BTF co-crystal thermal decomposition we studied, we conclude that N-NO2 bond of CL20 molecules breaks first, working as a dominant role in the initial stage of thermal decomposition under the condition of different temperatures, and that all CL20 molecules completely decompose before BTF molecular regardless of different temperatures. We also find that the main products of CL20/BTF co-crystal are NO2, NO, NO3, HNO, O2, N2, H2O, CO2, N2O, and HONO, etc., on which the temperature forms certain influence.展开更多

This study takes aim at providing an insight into the relative importance of fundamental solid state halogen bonding interactions(i.e., halogen..N, halogen,..halogen, and halogen...π in systems. The effects of the donor and acceptor on supramolecular assembly and the crystal structure determined interactions were discussed. The N...I halogen bonds are the main directing interactions responsible for the observed structures. In compounds 1 and 2, the donors exhibited lower-than-expected supramolecular connectivity. In spite of this, co-crystal 2 exhibits polymeric structures consisting of infinite one-dimensional(1D) double-zigzag chains of alternating electron donor and acceptor. The basic structure of co-crystals 3 and 4 is also infinite 1D chain. Therefore, the ID halogen bonded supramolecular assemblies can be obtained by matching the appropriate donor and acceptor.展开更多

Neutral molecules are ...The results of crystallographic analyses on 1:1 and 1:4 well-defined co-crystals formed between glycine anhydride and each of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid are described. Neutral molecules are connected via heteromeric O-H.-.O and N-H…O contacts leading to different packing arrangements of supramolecular chains. On the basis of the molec- ular structures of glycine anhydride and carboxylic acid guests, the hydrogen bonds are arranged to give centrosymmetric synthons V and VII which are noteworthy for their robustness. Hydrogen-bond interactions between glycine anhydride and aromatic acid provide sufficient driving force to direct molecular recognition and crystal packing. Utilization of the orientation of functional groups of the building blocks, the acidity, and weak interactions provides a route for the creation of novel supra- molecular architectures in the crystal lattice. Both two co-crystals contain the expected hydrogen-bonded motifs, and there has been no proton transfer from either of the two carboxylic acids to the aza compound moiety. This demonstrates that glycine anhydride is very capable of affecting the construction of binary co-crystals in a predictable and rationale manner. It is noted that synthons Ⅷ and IX are fairly large, but the real challenge in crystal engineering is to find a big enough synthon that occurs often enough. Thermal stability of these compounds has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of mass loss.展开更多

文摘Co-crystal is a very potential kind of drug solid forms, and has a far-reaching influence on designing and preparing drugs. A new 1:1:1 co-crystal compound consisting of 4-amino-3,5-dichloro-benzenesulfonamide, 1,10-phenanthroline and water was synthesized, and its crystal structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction method. The compositions of the co-crystal are self-assembled into a three-dimensional network structure via intermolecular interactions including hydrogen bonds, π-π stacking, Cl???Cl interactions and van der Waals' forces. According to the evaluations of cytotoxicity assays, anti-microbial and anti-hydroxyl radicals, this co-crystal is a potential drug.

文摘A simultaneous differential scanning calorimetryeFourier transform infrared(DSCeFTIR)microspectroscopy was used to quickly investigate the co-crystal formulation between anhydrous theophylline(TP)and anhydrous citric acid(CA)in a one-step procedure.The raw materials of TP andCA,aswell as the intactTPeCA co-crystal prepared by slow solvent evaporation were also respectively examined by this approach.The result indicates that the TPeCA cocrystal formulation was easily induced using this DSCeFTIR technique.The thermaldependent changes in three-dimensional FTIR spectral contour profiles were started from 165C to induce the co-crystal formation of TPeCA,which was prior to the endothermic peak at 173C found in the conventional DSC curve.Beyond 165C,several new IR absorption peaks at 3515,3124,1730,1710,1677,1648,1552 and 1265 cm1 corresponding to unique IR spectral peaks of intact TPeCA co-crystal were observed.The DSCeFTIR microspectroscopic results also evidenced the dimeremonomer transition of CA,but there were no markedly changes for TP or intact TPeCA co-crystal before its fusion.This strongly implies that the DSCeFTIR technique giving spectroscopic and thermodynamic information could simultaneously induce and identify the TPeCA co-crystal formation and phase transition of samples.Different storage conditions affecting the stability of both physical mixture and ground mixture of TPeCA were also determined.The physicalmixture of TPeCA after storing at 55C/75%RH condition for one day was fast transformed to TPeCA co-crystal,indicating that TPeCA co-crystal was easily induced under accelerated storage condition.While the co-crystal formed from TPeCA ground mixture was stable in both 25C/75%RH and 55C/75%RH conditions.

文摘The luminescence color of molecule-based photoactive materials is the key to the applications in lighting and optical communication.Realizing continuous regulation of emission color in molecular systems is highly desirable but still remains a challenge due to the individual emission band of purely organic molecules.Herein,a novel alloy strategy based on molecular co-crystals is reported.By adjusting the molar ratio of pyrene(Py)and fluorathene(Flu),three types of molecular co-crystal alloys(MCAs)assemblies are prepared involving Py-Flu-OFN-x%,Py-Flu-TFP-x%,Py-Flu-TCNB-x%.Multiple energy level structure and Förster resonance energy transfer(FRET)process endow materials with tunable full-spectra emission color in visible region.Impressively,these MCAs and co-crystals can be successfully applied to low optical loss waveguide and optical logic gate by virtue of all-color luminescence from blue across green to red,together with smooth surface of onedimensional microrods,which show promising applications as continuous light emitters for advance photonics applications.

文摘Pharmaceutical co-crystals have been explored by many researchers as a strategy to optimize physicochemical properties of solid-state drugs.Their improvements of solubility,bioavailability,and the reduced tendency for phase transformation occurrence,are factors that highlight benefits of pharmaceutical co-crystals among other solid forms.According to the Biopharmaceutical Classification System(BCS),non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)are class Ⅱ drugs,which have low aqueous solubility and therefore co-crystallization has the potential to optimize NSAID product properties.In this review,we highlight the recent progress made on NSAIDs co-crystals,their co-formers,synthesis,methods and use,while we underline some promising results on in vitro and in vivo co-crystal properties.A celecoxib-tramadol co-crystal reaches phase Ⅲ clinical trials,showing greater analgesic activity than both individual APIs.The aqueous solubility of the co-crystal formed between l-proline and diclofenac is very high in comparison with the pure drug.Naproxen co-crystals with urea and thiourea have an increase of drug release of almost 60%.Co-crystal design brings a new perspective in drug development since the co-former used can also be a biologically active component allowing to combine different anti-inflammatory drugs,which have an incredible spectrum of application due to the analgesic,anti-pyretic and anti-inflammatory properties.

文摘N-Containing heteroaromatics 1,2,4,5-tetra(pyridin-3-yl)benzene[1,2,4,5-T(3-PY)B] and 1,2,4,5-tetra(pyridin-4-yl)benzene[1,2,4,5-T(4-PY)B] were each co-crystallized with 1,2-diiodo-tetrafluoro-benzene(1,2-DITFB), or 1,4-diiodo-tetrafluoro-benzene(1,4-DITFB), respectively, generating four co-crystals, namely, (1,2-DITFB)4 [1,2,4,5-T(3-PY)B](1), (1,2-DITFB)4.[ 1,2,4,5-T(4-PY)B](2), (1,4-DITFB)2.[1,2,4,5-T(3-PY)B]-CHCI3(3), and (1,4-DITFB)-[1,2,4,5-T(4-PY)B]2CHCI3(4). This study takes aim at providing an insight into the relative importance of fundamental solid state halogen bonding interactions(i.e., halogen..N, halogen,..halogen, and halogen...π in systems. The effects of the donor and acceptor on supramolecular assembly and the crystal structure determined interactions were discussed. The N...I halogen bonds are the main directing interactions responsible for the observed structures. In compounds 1 and 2, the donors exhibited lower-than-expected supramolecular connectivity. In spite of this, co-crystal 2 exhibits polymeric structures consisting of infinite one-dimensional(1D) double-zigzag chains of alternating electron donor and acceptor. The basic structure of co-crystals 3 and 4 is also infinite 1D chain. Therefore, the ID halogen bonded supramolecular assemblies can be obtained by matching the appropriate donor and acceptor.

文摘The results of crystallographic analyses on 1:1 and 1:4 well-defined co-crystals formed between glycine anhydride and each of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid are described. Neutral molecules are connected via heteromeric O-H.-.O and N-H…O contacts leading to different packing arrangements of supramolecular chains. On the basis of the molec- ular structures of glycine anhydride and carboxylic acid guests, the hydrogen bonds are arranged to give centrosymmetric synthons V and VII which are noteworthy for their robustness. Hydrogen-bond interactions between glycine anhydride and aromatic acid provide sufficient driving force to direct molecular recognition and crystal packing. Utilization of the orientation of functional groups of the building blocks, the acidity, and weak interactions provides a route for the creation of novel supra- molecular architectures in the crystal lattice. Both two co-crystals contain the expected hydrogen-bonded motifs, and there has been no proton transfer from either of the two carboxylic acids to the aza compound moiety. This demonstrates that glycine anhydride is very capable of affecting the construction of binary co-crystals in a predictable and rationale manner. It is noted that synthons Ⅷ and IX are fairly large, but the real challenge in crystal engineering is to find a big enough synthon that occurs often enough. Thermal stability of these compounds has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of mass loss.

文摘Three small organic molecular co-crystal compounds (C3N6H6)·(C6H10O4)·H2O(I), C3HsN2O(3) and (H4btec)2.(4,4'-bipy)(4)(H4btec=1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, 4,4'-bipy=4,4'-bipyridine) and one coordination supramolecular compound [Mn(CEO4)(HEO)E]'C6HllNO2(2) were synthesized by hydrothermal reaction. They were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared(IR) spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction(XRD). Structural analyses reveal that these 2D or 3D supramolecular networks of the compounds were formed by C--H…O, N--H…O, N--H…N, O--H…O and O-H…N hydrogen bonds. Therein, the functional groups of--COOH, --NH2 and --OH play important roles in constructing supramolecular architectures.

文摘A new kind of co-crystal of buprofezin(C(16)H(24)FN3OS) with hydrofluoric acid has been prepared through evaporation technique. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1, with a = 9.9733(8), b = 10.3460(9), c = 10.5739(12) ?, a = 68.655(9), b = 73.291(9), g = 66.738(8)o, V = 920.34(17) ?~3, Mr = 325.44, Dc = 1.174 g/cm^3, Z = 2, F(000) = 348, m = 0.190 mm^(-1), the final GOOF = 1.042, R = 0.0485 and wR = 0.1167. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction, XRPD, DSC, TGA, Hirshfeld surface analysis, Raman spectroscopy and FT-IR were used to characterize the co-crystal. It has a twodimensional plane structure, and the intermolecular interactions of co-crystal are mainly H–F×××H, H–O×××H and H–O×××H. Thermology study further confirmed that co-crystal has stronger thermal stability and higher melting point than buprofezin, and it has stronger water solubility. The results show that this co-crystal is valuable for the study of residual activity and application effects of buprofezin.
文摘Securigera securidaca seed is a good source of phenolic compounds with high antioxidant properties.Preservation and maintenance of natural antioxidants have always been a challenge and microencapsulation is a suitable method for this purpose.In this study,the chemical compounds of the plant seed extract were identified by GC/MS device.Bioactive compounds from the seed ethanolic extract were microencapsulated in the sucrose matrix during the co-crystallization process.The evaluations included total phenolic compounds,radical scavenging ability,production efficiency,moisture content,and flowability characteristics of the produced powders,such as compressibility index,Hausner ratio,and angle of repose.The results showed significant differences in the phenolic compounds and the radical scavenging ability between the control sample and the co-crystallized powder(P<0.05).The production efficiency and the moisture content of extract-containing co-crystallized powder were 84%and 0.14%,respectively.The particle size difference of the microencapsulated powder could significantly affect the powder flowability characteristics(P<0.05),and particles with a size of 1 mm showed better flowability behaviour.FT-IR charts for samples revealed chemical bonds specific to saccharose molecule indicating no changes in covalent bonds present in saccharose molecule structure after the process.Scanning electron microscope images showed the presence of vacant spaces and porosity in the structure of saccharose crystals formed during the process of crystallization.As a result,the co-crystallized powder obtained from the plant extract can be used as an appropriate antioxidant in the food and pharmaceutical formulations.
