Combinatorial crystal synthesis of ternary solids based on 2-methylresorcinol

Abstract

Cocrystallization experiments of 2-methylresorcinol with several N-bases were performed to identify selective and preferred crystallization routes in relevant structural landscapes. These preferred supramolecular synthon-based crystallization routes were further enhanced by using carefully chosen coformer combinations to synthesize stoichiometric ternary solids. The exercise consists of modular selection and amplification of supramolecular synthons from single through two- to three-component molecular solids, and is equivalent to solid state combinatorial synthesis.
