Abstract
The cocrystallization of caffeine and urea was monitored and analyzed using infrared spectroscopy, Raman microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. The caffeine-urea cocrystal was shown to form spontaneously over several weeks under low energy mixing of the solids at room temperature and low relative humidity (
