[Crystal structure and crystal form stability of trelagliptin succinate]
Abstract:
In order to investigate trelagliptin succinate’s stability in solution, recrystallization and suspension methods in polar solvent (mainly in water and 95% alcohol) were used to study the crystal form transformation of trelagliptin succinate. Single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction and thermalgravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry were used to characterize the structure of the solid state form before and after transformation. The results showed that trelagliptin succinate can easily convert to trelagliptin hemi-succinate mediated by solvent, especially by polar solvent, namely trelagliptin hemi-succinate is more stable than trelagliptin succinate in solution.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
Crystal Growth: Principles of Crystallization
Initiating crystallization involves manipulating the concentration of the solute and the temperature of the solution. Since crystal growth occurs when the ratio of concentration and solubility of the solute in the solvent...
Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
