As part of my diploma thesis, I examined the formation of cocrystals or salts of various organic compounds with L-thyroxine. The selected reagents contained different halogen bond acceptor sites. I tested the solubility of the starting reagents in H2O, DMF and MeOH and then reacted these reagents with L-thyroxine in the selected solvents and attempted to form crystals by slow evaporation of the solvents from glass cuvettes containing the reaction solution. The products and reagents formed were then analysed by X-ray powder diffraction. In this thesis I focused mainly on the reactions with nicotinamide and 3-hydroxypyridine, which gave the best results.
