Co-Crystals

The meeting is organized by the Dutch Association for Crystal Growth (NVKG) and
the Dutch Crystallographic Society (NVK) and will have the character of a workshop/symposium.

The design of multicomponent crystals provides a means to alter physicochemical properties of crystals without changing the chemical properties of the molecule of interest. This is particularly useful in the case of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), but also in the field of agrochemical products.
Although solvates and salts are commonly used in this context, the formation of co-crystals has only more recently been considered, which has significantly increased the solid forms available for formulation.

This one-day symposium intends to give an overview of important aspects in the design of co-crystals, ranging from the search for suitable co-former candidates to possible legislation issues.
