A 1:1 cocrystal of fluconazole with salicylic acid.

The interaction of the antifungal pharmaceutical agent fluconazole with salicylic acid in acetonitrile solution yields the 1:1 cocrystal 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,3-bis(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-2-ol-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (1/1), C(13)H(12)F(2)N(6)O·C(7)H(6)O(3). The asymmetric unit consists of one molecule of fluconazole and one molecule of salicylic acid, both in their neutral forms. Both crystal agents form head-to-tail hydrogen-bonded dimers, which are further connected into hydrogen-bonded extended zigzag tapes propagating along the ac diagonal.
