We describe a simple setup for in situ continuous monitoring of vapour-induced transformations of organic solids using a benchtop powder X-ray diffractometer. Proof-of-principle application of this setup to model pharmaceutical cocrystals reveals complex reactivity, transformations of reaction intermediates within minutes, and a simple route to the rarely observed monoclinic form of the pharmaceutical cocrystal of carbamazepine and saccharin.
