Cocrystals typically display packing motifs distinct from their constituent components; this is a natural result of the new interactions being introduced disrupting those present in the pure components. Additionally, changes in stoichiometry within cocrystal systems are often accompanied by major changes in crystal packing, which can result in unpredictable changes in materials properties. Presented here is a suite of ammonium hexafluorophosphate pyrazinamide cocrystals that preserve the general packing motif, allowing a range of stoichiometries to be accessed without major changes to the noncovalent interactions or packing motif. This finding informs the design of salt cocrystals that are just beginning to affect the energetic materials field. These salt cocrystals break from the common motif of exploiting crown ether complexes and chart a path to compositions with a greater proportion of the oxidizing salt. The work is contextualized with a Cambridge Structural Database survey of existing salt cocrystals, and the properties of the cocrystals are examined for their dependence on stoichiometry.
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.
