Two different multi-component crystals consisting of papaverine [1-(3,4-di-meth-oxy-benz-yl)-6,7-di-meth-oxy-iso-quinoline, C20H21NO4] and fumaric acid [C4H4O4] were obtained. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis revealed that one, C20H21NO4·1.5C4H4O4 (I), is a salt co-crystal composed of salt-forming and non-salt-forming mol-ecules, and the other, C20H21NO4·0.5C4H4O4 (II), is a salt-co-crystal inter-mediate (i.e., in an inter-mediate state between a salt and a co-crystal). In this study, one state (crystal structure at 100 K) within the salt-co-crystal continuum is defined as the 'inter-mediate'.
Keywords: crystal structure; fumaric acid; multi-component crystal; papaverine.
