title: On the thermodynamics of cocrystal formation.
abstract: The thermodynamics underpinning cocrystal formation are derived. The results provide the pharmaceutical scientist with the foundation to experimentally assess the thermodynamic stability of a cocrystal with respect to its component forms. Data for the carbamazepine-nicotinamide system are discussed as an example.
