PAPER
Two novel multicomponent crystal forms of the prodrug 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC), an ionic cocrystal
and a monohydrate salt, with 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid, PA) and 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA),
respectively, were rationally designed and synthesized. Nitro compounds are used to treat many
diseases, such as cancer, one of the 5-FC targets via gene-directed prodrug therapy. In addition, within
the wide range of applications for nitro compounds is the formation of charge-transfer complexes with
organic molecules. Among all 5-FC crystalline structures depicted, only two contain nitro compounds: a
salt with PA and a dihydrate cocrystal with 5-nitrouracil. Therefore, the two new single translucent pale
gold prism crystals of 5FC-PA and 5FC-DNSA were successfully obtained by slow evaporation from
aqueous solution and characterized by X-ray diffraction (single crystal and powder), Fourier Transform
Infrared (FT-IR), and Raman (FT-Raman) spectroscopies. In both crystal structures, the 5-FC pyrimidine
ring is protonated at the N3 atom and the respective packings are mainly stabilized by N–H O
H-bonds. For the 5FC-PA ionic cocrystal, the formation of triple H-bonds (two N–H O and one charge
assisted N–H+ N H-bonds) among the 5-FC molecules was observed. This is consistent with the
expected stability of the duplex structure, which is considered the strongest association between two
species. In addition to the structural study, Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out based on the single

change in the crystal appearance at B110 1C, consistent with the
discussed dehydration process. The images also show the begin-

mentioning that the sharpness in the DSC peaks can be easily
coordinated with good crystalline nature of the synthesized
material, corroborating that there is no evidence of impurities
in the samples.
