A new cocrystal of Norfloxacin, a poorly soluble fluoroquinolone antibiotic, has been synthetized by a solvent-mediated transformation experiment in toluene, using resorcinol as a coformer. The new cocrystal exists in both anhydrous and monohydrate forms with the same (1:1) Norfloxacin/resorcinol stoichiometry. The solubility of Norfloxacin and the hydrated cocrystal were determined by the shake-flask method. While Norfloxacin has a solubility of 0.32 ± 0.02 mg/mL, the cocrystal has a solubility of 2.64 ± 0.39 mg/mL, approximately 10-fold higher. The dissolution rate was tested at four biorelevant pH levels of the gastrointestinal tract: 2.0, 4.0, 5.5, and 7.4. In a first set of comparative tests, the dissolution rate of Norfloxacin and the cocrystal was determined separately at each pH value. Both solid forms showed the highest dissolution rate at pH 2.0, where Norfloxacin is totally protonated. Then, the dissolution rate decreases as pH increases. In a second set of experiments, the dissolution of the cocrystal was evaluated by a unique dissolution test, in which the pH dynamically changed from 2.0 to 7.4, stepping 30 min at each of the four biorelevant pH values. Results were quite different in this case, since dissolution at pH 2 affects the behavior of Norfloxacin at the rest of the pH values.

Irradiation of the 3D MOF [La2(hex)3(H2O)4]3H2O, obtained upon dehydration of the layered compound [La2(hex)3(H2O)6]9H2O, gives two [2 + 2] and one [4 + 4] photocycloaddition reactions occurring in the parallel reaction scheme.

The process of transforming hydromagnesite to magnesite is analysed in the context of the theory of solvent-mediated transformations. A series of experiments at 120, 150 and 180ºC with different heating times was designed to determine, by powder X-ray diffraction, the amount of magnesite generated as a function of time. The aqueous-phase composition was monitored by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry and carbonate alkalimetry. From the analytical data, the evolution of saturation indexes with respect to both phases was determined using the geochemical codePHREEQC. Finally, two different methods were applied to obtain the activation energy of the process and a TTT (Temperature- Transformation-Time) graph was constructed to define suitable conditions in which to obtain magnesite.
