A porous, nonsolvated polymorph of the voltage-gated sodium channel blocker mexiletine hydrochloride absorbs iodine vapor to give a pharmaceutical cocrystal incorporating an I<sub>2</sub>Cl<sup>-</sup> anion that forms a halogen-π interaction with the mexiletine cations. The most thermodynamically stable form of the compound does not absorb iodine. This example shows that vapor sorption is a potentially useful and underused tool for bringing about changes in pharmaceutical solid form as part of ...[more]
