*This is not homework, I'm a technical writer.
I'm trying to understand how these terms are related and different. Here's what I have concluded so far:
Wikipedia definition is that cocrystals “consist of two or more components that form a unique crystalline structure having unique properties."
Wikipedia definition of Polymorphisms is the ability of a solid material to exist in more than one form or crystal structure.
But then, there are polymorphisms in co-crystals too...
Now salt selection would just mean selecting a particular polymorph or cocrystal?
It's a little confusing to me, any help?
Thanks, David
