The December 2011 release of a draft United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance concerning regulatory classification of pharmaceutical cocrystals of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) addressed two matters of topical interest to the crystal engineering and pharmaceutical science communities: (1) a proposed definition of cocrystals; (2) a proposed classification of pharmaceutical cocrystals as dissociable {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}API-excipient{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} molecular complexes. The Indo U.S. Bilateral Meeting sponsored by the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum titled The Evolving Role of Solid State Chemistry in Pharmaceutical Science was held in Manesar near Delhi, India, from February 2-4, 2012. A session of the meeting was devoted to discussion of the FDA guidance draft. The debate generated strong consensus on the need to define cocrystals more broadly and to classify them like salts. It was also concluded that the diversity of API crystal forms makes it difficult to classify solid forms into three categories that are mutually exclusive. This perspective summarizes the discussion in the Indo-U.S. Bilateral Meeting and includes contributions from researchers who were not participants in the meeting.

Porous solids that can be switched between different forms with distinct physical properties are appealing candidates for separation, catalysis, and host-guest chemistry. In this regard, porous organic cages (POCs) are of profound interest because of their solution-state accessibility. However, the application of POCs is limited by poor chemical stability. Synthesis of an exceptionally stable imine-linked (4+6) porous organic cage (TpOMe-CDA) is reported using 2,4,6-trimethoxy-1,3,5-triformyl benzene (TpOMe) as a precursor aldehyde. Introduction of the -OMe functional group to the aldehyde creates significant steric and hydrophobic characteristics in the environment around the imine bonds that protects the cage molecules from hydrolysis in the presence of acids or bases. The electronic effect of the -OMe group also plays an important role in enhancing the stability of the reported POCs. As a consequence, TpOMe-CDA reveals exceptional chemical stability in neutral, acidic and basic conditions, even in 12m NaOH. Interestingly, TpOMe-CDA exists in three different porous and non-porous polymorphic forms (, , and ) with respect to differences in crystallographic packing and the orientation of the flexible methoxy groups. All of the polymorphs retain their crystallinity even after treatment with acids and bases. All the polymorphs of TpOMe-CDA differ significantly in their properties as well as morphology and could be reversibly switched in the presence of an external stimulus.

This study details the preparation of a series of new germylenes and stannylenes starting from B. A transmetallation reaction between B and SnCl2 led to the analogous chlorostannylene (1) with the simultaneous elimination of GeCl2. This is a very unusual example of transmetallation between two elements of the same group. The preparation of 1via lithiation led to the formation of 2 as a side product, where the ortho C-H bond of the pyridine ring was activated and functionalized with a Bu-n moiety. Subsequently, B and 1 were used as precursors to generate germylene (4) and stannylene (5) featuring tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl (hypersilyl) moieties. We also prepared tetrafluoropyridyl germylene (6) by reacting 4 with C5F5N with the simultaneous elimination of (Me3Si)(3)SiF by utilizing the fluoride affinity of the silicon atom. As there is scarcity of Sn(II) compounds as single-site catalysts, we investigated 5 as a catalyst towards the hydroboration of aldehydes, ketones, alkenes and alkynes.

A new polymorph of hydroxyurea (HU) was crystallized 150 years after its first synthesis. Due to its medicinal use in neoplastic diseases and sickle cell anemia, a high throughput screen of HU binary cocrystals was attempted. Instead of a cocrystal, an isoenergetic form II crystallized concomitantly with urea in methanol.
