Abstract

Sorbitol, a widely-used sweetener and excipient, is of great interest to the pharmaceutical and food industries. Not only is it known to exist in multiple polymorphic solid-state forms, but sorbitol is also able to cocrystallize with solvent molecules with which it can form hydrogen bonds. Here, two cocrystal forms, sorbitol-water and sorbitol-pyridine, were extensively studied using both experimental and computational techniques, and compared to the anhydrous α-sorbitol polymorph. Each solid was grown and verified using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and then analyzed using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and solid-state density functional theory (DFT).
