ABSTRACT

We present three crystal structures of diatrizoic acid (DTA) DMSO solvates illustrating progressive desolvation of the DTA molecule and concomitant increasing degree of DTA self-association. Using these structures, plausible pathways for overcoming the solvation shell of DTA during its crystallisation from solution are discussed.
