Fig. S1. Powder X-ray diffractograms of (a) PCA, (b) 5NIP, (c) PCA-5NIP from complete solvent evaporation experiment and (d) PCA-5NIP from incomplete solvent evaporation experiment. Notice that the PCA-5NIP obtained from incomplete solvent evaporation experiment was similar to that of PCA-5NIP obtained from complete solvent evaporation.

Fig. S2. DSC thermograms of (a) PCA, (b) 5NIP, (c) physical mixture of PCA:5NIP (1:1 mol ratio), (d) PCA-5NIP from complete solvent evaporation experiment and (e) PCA-5NIP from incomplete solvent evaporation experiment. DSC analysis of cocrystal product from incomplete solvent evaporation experiment showed broad endothermic peak in the temperature range of 50-100 oC which indicate loss of the methanol solvent, the second endotherm in the DSC analysis corresponds to the melting point of PCA-5NIP cocrystal.

Fig. S3. FTIR spectra of (a) PCA, (b) 5NIP, (c) PCA-5NIP from complete solvent evaporation experiment and (d) PCA-5NIP from incomplete solvent evaporation experiment in the frequency region 4000-2000 cm-1 (A) and 2000-700 cm-1 (B). Notice that the PCA-5NIP obtained from incomplete solvent evaporation experiment was similar to that of PCA-5NIP obtained from complete solvent evaporation.
