description Pharmaceutical cocrystallization offers the possibility to modify the physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The mechanochemical synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of the catechol-theophylline (CAT-TEO) cocrystal is reported. The cocrystal was prepared by the solvent-assisted grinding method. The ATR-IR spectroscopy study allowed to determine the formation of the cocrystal because the O-H and C=O stretching bands in the CAT-TEO cocrystal were shifted with respect to the starting materials, suggesting the formation of the C=O···H-O hydrogen bond interaction. Infrared spectroscopy also allowed to discard hydration of the cocrystal, and polymorphic transitions of the starting products as a consequence of the mechanochemical grinding. The X-ray powder diffraction and thermal studies confirmed the formation of a new solid phase. In the solid state <sup>13</sup>C NMR spectra of the cocrystal, the signals were shifted with respect to the starting products. The <sup>13</sup>C NMR chemical shifts of the CAT-TEO cocrystal were simulated by using the gauge including the atomic orbital (GIAO) method. These results showed a good correlation between the experimental and calculated <sup>13</sup>C NMR results. Theoretical calculations and natural bonding orbital analysis (NBO) at a B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory were performed to obtain structural information of the cocrystal.
