Stabilizing volatile liquid chemicals using co-crystallization

Abstract

A convenient, effective, and scalable protocol for stabilizing volatile liquid chemicals is reported. Through the use of halogen-bond driven co-crystal synthesis, several examples of liquid iodoperfluoroalkanes are transformed into crystalline materials with low-vapor pressure, considerable thermal stability, and moisture resistance. The target compounds can subsequently be re-generated through simple solvent-extractions.
