Abstract

The study involves the crystallisation of paracetamol in eutectic molecular solvent. These novel solvents are made from mixtures of benzophenone and dihydroxybenzenes (catechol and resorcinol). Single crystal and powder X-rays diffractometry, infrared and NMR spectroscopy will be made to characterize paracetamol crystals obtained.
