Molecular self-assembly is the spontaneous association of simple molecules into larger and ordered structures. 1 It is the basis of several natural processes, such as the formation of colloids, crystals, the generation of proteins, viruses and double helical DNA. 2 Molecular selfassembly has inspired strategies for the rational design of materials with specific chemical/physical properties, 3 becoming perhaps one of the most fascinating and important concepts in supramolecular chemistry. Here we report on a simple hydrochloride salt of fampridine which crystallises as four different structures, two of which adopt unusual selfassemblies consisting of polyhedral clusters of chloride and pyridinium ions. These two
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
