Organic Salts of p-Coumaric Acid and Trans-Ferulic Acid with Aminopicolines

p-Coumaric acid (pCA) and trans-ferulic acid (TFA) were co-crystallised with 2-amino-4-picoline (2A4MP) and 2-amino-6-picoline (2A6MP) producing organic salts of (pCA(−))(2A4MP(+)) (1), (pCA(–) )(2A6MP(+)) (2) and (TFA(–) )(2A4MP(+))·([Formula: see text] H(2)O) (3). For salt 3, water was included in the crystal structure fulfilling a bridging role. pCA formed a 1:1 salt with 2A4MP (Z’ = 1) and a 4:4 salt with 2A6MP (Z’ = 4). The thermal stability of the salts was determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Salt 2 had the highest thermal stability followed by salt 1 and salt 3. The salts were also characterised using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to study the different intermolecular interactions in the three salts. Solvent-assisted grinding was also investigated in attempts to reproduce the salts.
