Can picolinamide be a promising cocrystal former?

Abstract

Eight novel cocrystals of picolinamide are reported in this study. Lattice energy calculations may help us to understand their relative stabilities versus those of the individual components. The stoichiometry of one cocrystal changed when heated. A polymorph of picolinamide was obtained alongside a cocrystal in a screening experiment. This journal is © the Partner Organisations 2014.
