Abstract

The crystal structures of 4-phenylsulfanylbutyric acid (4PSBA) and its cocrystal with 2-amino-5-nitropyridine (2A5NP) have been studied. Both 4PSBA and its co-crystal, 4PSBA:2A5NP belong to the triclinic crystallographic system with the same space group P-1. Theoretical energy calculations indicated the high energy of the formers 4PSBA and 2A5NP than the cocrystal (4PSBA:2A5NP). The cocrystal has the lowest energy gap (ΔE, 2.9709 eV), lowest hardness (1.4854 eV), highest softness (0.6732 eV), and the highest electrophilicity (5.7412 eV). The cocrystal shows better antimicrobial- and DNA cleaving activity than the acid (4PSBA).
