Crystal water as the molecular glue for obtaining different co-crystal ratios: the case of gallic acid tris-caffeine hexahydrate

The crystal structure of the hexahydrate co-crystal of gallic acid and caffeine, C7H6O5·3C8H10N4O2·6H2O or GAL3CAF·6H2O, is a remarkable example of the importance of hydrate water acting as structural glue to facilitate the crystallization of two components of different stoichiometries and thus to c...
