For example, at room temperature (RT), CH3OH or an aqueous solution of the coformers yields monohydrated cocrystals, 1a\u00b7H2O. However, crystallization of the same in a desiccator produces anhydrous cocrystals, 1a, from a CH3OH solution, while an aqueous solution gives sesquihydrate cocrystals, 1a\u00b71.5H2O (\u03b1-form). In fact, in all the three cocrystals (1a, 1a\u00b7H2O, and \u03b1-) the stoichiometry of the coformers is 2:1. Further, upon exposure to atmosphere, 1a\u00b7H2O transforms into anhydrous cocrystals, 1a\u2032, with the coformers in a 1:1 ratio, while 1a\u00b71.5H2O undergoes reversible polymorphic transformation to \u03b2-form with the variation of temperature in the range 295\u2013100\u2013295 K (Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal). Remarkably, the coformers form anhydrous cocrystals, 1a\u2033, with three molecules in the asymmetric unit, upon heating in the solid state (sublimation crystallization). All structures are characterized by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Packing analysis reveals that all the structures form voids in a two-dimensional arrangement. However, in the structures of 1a and 1a\u2033 the voids are masked by the molecules from the adjacent layers, while in 1a\u2032 and 1a\u00b7H2O the catenation process effectively stabilizes the voids. Nevertheless, the polymorphs \u03b1 and \u03b2 yield host\u2013guest network structures with bpypa being a guest in the hosts formed by the acid molecules. Furthermore, an intriguing feature is that both anhydrous and hydrated cocrystals are metastable at RT and transform into 1a\u2033. The transformations are further authenticated by thermal analysis and variable-temperature X-ray diffraction methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.6c05909","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,11]],"date-time":"2026-08-11T20:02:08Z","timestamp":1786478528000},"page":"50226-50240","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Reversible Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal Polymorphic\nTransformation and Other Solid-State Adaptations in the Landscape\nof Molecular Complexes of 3,5-Dinitrobenzoic Acid with 1,3-Bis(4-pyridyl)propane"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5966-4526","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Riya","family":"Ghosh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar , , Argul, ,","place":["Bhubaneswar, India, 752 050"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Venkateswara Rao","family":"Pedireddi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar , , Argul, ,","place":["Bhubaneswar, India, 752 050"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2026083119135907200_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1002\/anie.198800891","article-title":"Supramolecular\nchemistry\u2500scope and perspectives molecules, supermolecules,\nand molecular devices (Nobel Lecture)","volume":"27","author":"Lehn","year":"1988","journal-title":"Angew.\nChem., Int.
