What you’ll be able to do
Identify the molecules in molecular solids, including the active pharmaceutical ingredients
Use molecular structures to predict solid-state properties
Solve crystal structures and use the information to predict the properties of crystals
Describe the elemental steps of crystallization and their distinct kinetics and use the information to control a crystallization process
Identify, discover and predict crystal polymorphs and predict the effect of polymorphism on material properties, including dissolution and bioavailability
Predict aqueous solubility and its dependence on pH, complexing agents, common ions, and solid forms, and understand its impact on drug performance
Prevent crystallization and prepare amorphous solids and glasses and describe areas of applications where amorphous materials outperform crystalline materials
Design strategies to stabilize molecular solid materials against physical and chemical changes
