At one extreme of the proton-transfer spectrum in cocrystals, proton transfer is absent, whilst at the opposite extreme, in salts, the proton-transfer process is complete. However, for acid–base pairs with a small ΔpK a (pK a of base − pK a of acid), prediction of the extent of proton transfer is not possible as there is a continuum between the salt and cocrystal ends. In this context, we attempt to illustrate that in these systems, in addition to ΔpK a, the crystalline environment could change the extent of proton transfer. To this end, two compounds of salicylic acid (SaH) and adenine (Ad) have been prepared. Despite the same small ΔpK a value (≈1.2), different ionization states are found. Both crystals, namely adeninium salicylate monohydrate, C5H6N5 +·C7H5O3 −·H2O, I, and adeninium salicylate–adenine–salicylic acid–water (1/2/1/2), C5H6N5 +·C7H5O3 −·2C5H5N5·C7H6O3·2H2O, II, have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis (C, H and N) techniques. In addition, the intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions of compounds I and II have been investigated and quantified in detail on the basis of Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots. Throughout the study, we use crystal engineering, which is based on modifications of the intermolecular interactions, thus offering a more comprehensive screening of the salt–cocrystal continuum in comparison with pure pK a analysis.

A number of hydrogen-bonded co-crystals, consisting of a cinnamic acid derivative and a pyridyl co-crystallizer, have been synthesized and their properties investigated by X-ray diffraction. Samples were prepared by recrystallization or solvent drop grinding oftrans-cinnamic acid (1), 4-methylcinnamic acid (2), 4-methoxy cinnamic acid (3) or 3,4-methoxy cinnamic acid (4), with 4,4-dipyridyl (A),iso-nicotinamide (B) or nicotinamide (C). The X-ray single-crystal structures of seven novel co-crystals, obtained through recrystallization, are examined and the hydrogen-bonding interactions discussed. Consistent hydrogen-bonding motifs were observed for samples prepared when using 4,4-dipyridyl (A) oriso-nicotinamide (B) as the co-crystallizing agent. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis of the samples prepared by solvent drop grinding suggests the formation of ten co-crystals.

In the present study, ciprofloxacin-salicylic acid molecular salt has been synthesized and preliminarily characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy. The single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) reveals the proton transfer from carboxylic acid group of salicylic acid to piperazine moiety in ciprofloxacin confirming the formation of new molecular salt. The molecular packing of the molecular salt is mainly supported by N+–H⋯O−, O–H⋯O, C–H⋯F, C–H⋯π, and π-π interactions. The 3D Hirshfeld surfaces and the associated 2D fingerprint plots were investigated for intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions.

Co-crystallization experiments conducted between ortho-phenylenediamine (OPDA) and five substituted aromatic acids (phthalic acid, salicylic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-nitrobenzoic acid and 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid) reveal the formation of supramolecular networks constructed from acid–base heterosynthons of ortho-phenylenediammonium cations with respective aromatic anions. All of these coformers are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) molecules. The five reported crystal structures are sustained predominantly by intermolecular N+−H...O−, N—H...O− and N—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions; in addition intramolecular O—H...O and intermolecular O—H...O, O—H...O− and C—H...O interactions contribute to the formation of various networks. Five 1:1 salts [NH2C6H4NH3]+·[COOHC6H4COO]− (1); [NH2C6H4NH3]+·[OHC6H4COO]− (2); [{NH2C6H4NH2}2·{OHC6H4COOH}2·{NH2C6H4NH3}+ 2·{OHC6H4COO}− 2] (OPDPHB) (3); [NH2C6H4NH3]+·[NO2C6H4COO]− (4) and [NH2C6H4NH3]+·[(NO2)2C6H4COO]− (5) were isolated as single crystals by the slow evaporation method and were characterized using spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic techniques. X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the formation of salts. The pK a difference between the amine and respective acid favours the transfer of a proton from the acid to the amine, which leads to the formation of the anion and the cation. The interactions between these ions resulted in a stable heterosynthon in each case. The asymmetric units of salts (1), (2), (4) and (5) contain one anion and one cation each, but salt (3) consists of two anions, two cations and two neutral species in its asymmetric unit. A polymorph of salt (3) was also isolated from the crystallization of the ground material from liquid-assisted grinding [{NH2C6H4NH2}·{NH2C6H4NH3}+·{OHC6H4COO}−] (OPDPHB 3P). The polymorph crystallized in the monoclinic non-centrosymmetric space group P21. The liquid-assisted grinding experiments using a 1:1 ratio also revealed the formation of the expected salts, except salt (3), where this product matches with polymorph (OPDPHB 3P).

Four polymorphs of bis(phthalocyaninato)neodymium(III) were reproducibly and selectively crystallized by the slow evaporation of saturated solutions. The obtained phase depended on the initial oxidation state of the NdPc<sub>2</sub> molecule and the choice of solvent. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies were used to correct previous mis-identifications and provide missing coordinates for the γ-phase as well as a detailed comparison of molecular structure and crystal packing in all NdPc<sub>2</sub> polymorphs. The primary feature in all phases is columnar stacking based on parallel π π interactions, with a variety of slip angles within those stacks as well as secondary interactions between them. Chemical redox and acid-base titrations, performed on re-dissolved crystals demonstrate that NdPc<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> and NdPc<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> are easily obtained through weak oxidizing and reducing agents, respectively. Additionally, we show that the protonated form of the NdPc<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> complex has a nearly identical UV-Vis spectra to that of neutral NdPc<sub>2</sub>, explaining some of the confusion over chemical composition in previously published literature.<br>
