Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Twelve multicomponent solvate crystals (cocrystal solvates) of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid and acetamide were synthesized via slow evaporation method. All crystalline materials were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All cocrystal solvates are isostructural, and crystal packing forms continuous channels where some solvent molecules are connected via weak intermolecular interactions with 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid and acetamide. All multicomponent solvate crystals encompass amide–amide dimer homo synthons and form R 2 2 (8) motifs. Moreover, the phase purity of solvate crystals was analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction. Further, most of the cocrystal solvates were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance and differential scanning calorimetry. Cambridge structural database analysis categorizes solvate propensity in single-crystal structures. The importance of hydrogen bond donor/acceptor nature, size, and shape of solvents is also discussed in the context of crystallization and crystal packing.
