Polymorphic Anhydrous Cocrystals of Gallic Acid and Acetamide from Methanol: Pointers toward a Stable Cocrystal Form

Polymorphic anhydrous cocrystals generated from a methanolic solution of gallic acid monohydrate and acetamide are shown to convert to the stable form II on complete drying, and the pathway to the stable form is explained on the basis of the variability in the hydrogen bonding patterns followed by theoretical calculations.
