A1 - Emmerling, Franziska T1 - Polymorphism of mechanochemically synthesized cocrystals: a case study N2 - The liquid-assisted grinding cocrystallisation of theophylline with benzamide leading to polymorphic compounds was investigated. A solvent screening with seventeen different solvents was performed. The dipole moment of the solvent used in the synthesis determines the structure of the polymorphic product. A detailed investigation leads to the determination of the kinetically and thermodynamically favored product. In situ observations of the formation pathway during the grinding process of both polymorphs show that the thermodynamically favored cocrystal is formed in a two-step mechanism with the kinetic cocrystal as intermediate.

A1 - Emmerling, Franziska T1 - Survival of the fittest - Competetive cocrystal reactions in the ball mill N2 - Mechanochemistry is increasingly used for synthesizing various materials including cocrystals and metal organic compounds. Although this synthesis approach offers a fast and pure synthesis in high yields there is a lack in understanding the mechanisms of milling reactions. The driving forces triggering the formation of cocrystals under milling conditions were investigated using a set of multi-component competitive milling reactions. In these reactions, different active pharmaceutical ingredients were ground together with a further compound acting as coformer. The study was based on new cocrystals including the coformer anthranilic acid. The results of the competitive milling reactions indicate that the formation of cocrystals driven by intermolecular recognition are influenced and inhibited by kinetic aspects including the formation of intermediates and the stability of the reactants.
