Exhaled breath is a rich and complex matrix containing many hundreds of compounds. Every breath offers the potential of a non-invasive measurement of the biochemical processes occurring in the human body and it is this notion that has led to the application of breath analysis for the detection of disease. With the majority of research in the field being focused on the detection of biomarkers, little has been presented on how the seemingly homeostatic matrix of breath varies during the course of normal life events.

In this thesis the factors influencing the formation of a binary compound and the proton transfer within the binary compound have been investigated. The formation of a binary compound, or heteromeric system, over a homomeric system requires the heteromeric system to be more energetically favourable than the homomeric system. In some circumstances, however, no solid crystallises at all. Proton transfer within the binary compound can lead to the formation of a salt, whereas a binary compound containing neutral components is called a co-crystal.
