The invention relates to an optoelectronic device comprising: (a) a layer comprising a crystalline A/M/X material, wherein the crystalline A/M/X material comprises a compound of formula: [A].sub.a[M].sub.b[X].sub.c wherein: [A] comprises one or more A cations; [M] comprises one or more M cations which are metal or metalloid cations; [X] comprises one or more X anions; a is a number from 1 to 6; b is a number from 1 to 6; and c is a number from 1 to 18; and (b) an ionic solid which is a salt comprising an organic cation and a counter anion. The invention also provides various processes for producing an ionic solid-modified film of the crystalline A/M/X material.

The present invention relates to metformin glycinate salt and pharmaceutical compositions thereof for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The method includes administration of the metformin glycinate salt by various routes selected from oral, intravenous injectable, intramuscular injectable, nasal, intraperitoneal, or sublingual, in order to achieve a reduction in blood glucose levels. The invention further relates to the synthesis of a new 1,1-dimethylbiguanide glycinate salt, called Metformin Glycinate. The resulting salt exhibits advantages over other metformin salts. These advantages are due, in the first place, to the fact that the glycine counterion exhibits hypoglycemic effects by itself. Moreover, the salt exhibits more rapid absorption, reaching higher plasma concentrations than those produced with metformin hydrochloride.

The present disclosure relates to metformin glycinate and methods of using metformin glycinate for the treatment of diseases including diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia, diseases associated with IL-10 up-regulation, and diseases or disorders associated with elevated or increased ceramide levels. Pharmaceutical formulations comprising metformin glycinate are also disclosed.
