description

Nitrofurantoin was crystallized from multiple mixtures of water and organic solvents with and without additives to try to find and identify factors affecting phase obtained in crystallization and provide possible information on crystallization control. Obtained crystals were identified with powder X-ray diffractometry. Crystallization control possibilities were evaluated by using polymer additives and crystallization additives, by also using quantum chemical calculations to investigate the association of nitrofurantoin and additive molecules and calculate Gibbs energy of association.
