Here, we demonstrate a possible way of avoiding these obstacles and making as much use of the two methods as possible in difficult circumstances. In a simple case, our experiments led to crystal structure elucidation of a cocrystal of linezolid (LIN), a wide-range antibiotic, with 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid, while a significantly more challenging case of a cocrystal of LIN with 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid led to the identification of the most probable conformations of LIN inside the crystal. Having four rotatable bonds, some of which can assume many discreet values, LIN molecule poses a challenge in establishing its conformation in a solid phase.
