Molecular Structure, Spectral Investigations, Hydrogen Bonding Interactions and Reactivity-Property Relationship of Caffeine-Citric Acid Cocrystal by Experimental and DFT Approach.

ABSTRACT: The pharmaceutical cocrystal of caffeine-citric acid (CAF-CA, Form II) has been studied to explore the presence of hydrogen bonding interactions and structure-reactivity-property relationship between the two constituents CAF and Citric acid. The cocrystal was prepared by slurry crystallization. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis was done to characterize CAF-CA cocrystal. Also, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) confirmed the existence of CAF-CA cocrystal. The vibrational spectroscopic (FT-IR and FT-Raman) signatures and quantum chemical approach have been used as a strategy to get insights into structural and spectral features of CAF-CA cocrystal. There was a good correlation among the experimental and theoretical results of dimer of cocrystal, as this model is capable of coveri
