Solid-State Synthesis Of Imide Ligands For The Self-Assembly Of Metal-Organic Materials, Jason Alexander Perman Jul 2011

Solid-State Synthesis Of Imide Ligands For The Self-Assembly Of Metal-Organic Materials, Jason Alexander Perman

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In this research project, reduction or complete elimination of organic solvents is explored in the synthesis of cyclic imides using a technique that brings reagents into favorable position to react. Cocrystal Controlled Solid-State Synthesis (C3Sy3), takes advantage of supramolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking to form a cocrystal which can sequential be heated to complete the condensation reaction and produce a desirable product. Twenty-five successful condensation reactions result in high and clean yield.

C3Sy3 of cyclic imides with auxiliary hydrogen bonding moieties like carboxylic acid, carboxylate or pyridyl groups are …


Crystal Engineering Of Pharmaceutical Cocrystals, Sreya Mukherjee Jan 2011

Crystal Engineering Of Pharmaceutical Cocrystals, Sreya Mukherjee

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Pharmaceutical cocrystals use principles of crystal engineering for the design of crystalline forms of drugs and can improve their solubility, bioavailability, stability and other important properties without changing the efficacy of the drug. Herein reported are pharmaceutical cocrystals of two API's, caffeine and Pentoxifylline.

Research has indicated that caffeine has the ability to reverse AB; plaque deposition in the brain (believed to be the primary cause of Alzheimer's pathogenesis) and thus revert memory and improve cognitive impairment. But owing to the fast absorption rate and short half life, a controlled release formulation of caffeine would be clinically beneficial. Thus, novel …
