Mechanochemistry provides polymorphs that are difficult to obtain by conventional solution-based methods. Based on the nicotinamide and pimelic acid cocrystal, we demonstrated that the ball size, frequency, and temperature are essential parameters. Our results indicate that fine-tuning the energy input during a mechanochemical reaction can provide control over polymorphism.
Mechanochemistry offers a unique opportunity to modify or synthesize new crystal forms. Although the method is very promising, little is known about the mechanochemical means to control the synthesis of a solid form. Using an polymorphic organic cocrystal system, we show here that mechanochemistry can be used to obtain a polymorph transformation under the apparently conventional (thermal) transition point.
This work aims to investigate the role of F-F and F-π interactions in dictating structural and mechanical properties, through a combination of X-ray powder diffraction and dispersion-corrected density functional. As no benchmarking data exist for F-dominating organic system, we first assess how different functionals affect the mechanical properties of the material.
Control of ball milling conversions is required before the full potential of mechanochemical processing can be realized. It is well known that many parameters affect the outcome of mechanochemical polymorphism, but the energy of ball milling itself is often overlooked. We show here how this parameter alone can exert a significant influence on the polymorphic outcome of ball mill grinding by allowing the selective isolation of two polymorphic forms in their pure form under the same grinding conditions. Furthermore, we show how apparent mechanochemical equilibria can be deceptive. Our results clearly demonstrate the need for careful design and interpretation of ball milling experiments beyond current thinking.
