(a) (b) (c) Figure S4. Molecular packing projections for (a) theophylline (form II), (b) diflunisal (form I) and (c) diclofenac acid (form II). Form II of THP crystallises in the orthorhombic spacegroup Pna2 1 and has the planar conformation, with the methyl substituents in plane with the purine ring (Figure S4a). In the crystal, the THP molecules connected by only one N H N hydrogen bond involving the NH group of the five-membered ring of one molecule as donor and the second nitrogen atom of the same purine ring as acceptor. In form I of DIF, the molecules are packed as dimers via the R (8) carboxylic acid motif (Figure S4b). The two aromatic rings of DIF are bent out of 2 2 plane, with the angle of 43.. However, the hydroxyl and carboxylic groups lie in plane with the benzene ring. The molecules of DIC form II also form centrosymmetric dimers linked by hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic groups (Figure S4c). In contrast to DIF, the carboxylic group of the molecule is out of plane of the aromatic ring forming the τ 1 torsion angle of ca -68.8 (Figure 1). 4

Analysis of the strongest interactions between the neighbouring molecules (Table S1) indicate that for both co-crystals the interaction between the hydrogen bonded THP molecules is the largest one, namely -87.3 kj mol 1 for [DIC+THP] and -81.5 kj mol 1 for [DIF+THP]. It appears that the mentioned values are energetically comparable to that in the 8
thermodynamically stable form IV of pure THP (-84.5 kj mol 1 ). The second largest interaction energies correspond to O H N hydrogen bond in an acid-imidazole heterosynthon between the neighbouring API and THP molecules. The total energy of this contact is calculated to be -59.4 kj mol 1 for [DIC+THP] and -5.5 kj mol 1 for [DIF+THP]. The other API-THP interaction energies are at the level of ca. 3 34 kj mol 1. Interestingly, in [DIF+THP], the π π interactions between the diflourbenzene rings of the DIF molecules (-17.4 kj mol 1 ) are more stabilizing than hydrogen bonded dimers of DIF (-12.9 kj mol 1 ). In [DIC+THP], the π π and С-H π interactions between APIs molecules are important for the stabilization of DIC layers in the crystal. 9
