X-Ray Structures, Intermolecular Interactions, and Structural Transformations of Dihydroquercetin Solvates and Polymorphs

Le résumé fourni par la source

Background/Objectives: Dihydroquercetin, known for its broad biological activities, is a key component in dietary supplements and functional foods. This study aims to identify its novel pure solid forms, advancing understanding of its physicochemical properties and polymorphism. Methods: Systematic screening, preparation, and characterization efforts identified five solvates: dihydroquercetin monohydrate (1:1, S1 and S2), sesquihydrate (1:1.5, S3), dihydrate (1:2, S4), and ACN solvate (1:1, S5), along with one solvent-free phase (S6). Results: The crystal structures of the five solvates were successfully elucidated for the first time. A comprehensive suite of techniques, including single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, DSC, TG, and FT-IR, were employed to characterize the solvates and polymorphs. Hirshfeld surface analysis, void map analysis, intermolecular energy calculations, and energy framework methods were utilized to investigate the characteristics of the solvates. The crystal transformation relationships among these forms were also explored. Conclusions: Results demonstrate that O···H interactions dominate the intermolecular forces, accounting for over 35% of the total interactions.
