Two-dimensional rare-earth-metal coordination polymers based on biphenyl-3,3 ′ ,5,5 ′ -tetracarboxylic acid displaying luminescence
Two coordination polymers were rationally designed and successfully constructed using the rigid multicarboxylic acid ligand biphenyl-3,3 ′ ,5,5 ′ -tetracarboxylic acid (H4BPTC) and rare earth metal ions (Eu3+ and Ho3+) under solvothermal conditions.

Synthesis, crystal structure and determination of the pKa value of 2,6-dimethoxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione 1-[2-(quinolin-8-yl)hydrazone]
The azo-coupling reaction between 8-aminoquinoline and 3,5-dimethoxyphenol produces 2,6-dimethoxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione 1-[2-(quinolin-8-yl)hydrazone], C17H15N3O3. Crystallization from methanol and strong alkaline solutions produced nonsolvated and solvated crystals, respectively. The crystal structure analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy studies revealed that the compound exists only as the hydrazone form. A UV – Vis spectroscopic titration study revealed that the hydrazone compound has a relatively high pKa value of 10.0. (Source: Acta Crystallographica Section C)

Structural phase transition in a charge-transfer compound: tropylium hexafluoridoantimonate(V) – 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene (1/1)
Molecular motion in crystals has attracted much attention for the development of stimuli-responsive materials. The most studied are molecules with few atoms or highly symmetrical molecules. To develop molecules with new motion characteristics, we synthesized a charge-transfer compound, namely, tropylium hexafluoridoantimonate(V) – 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene (1/1), (C7H7)[SbF6] · C12H12, and studied its structural phase transition. In this compound, the tropylium cation and the 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene molecule have planar geometry, but the latter has low symmetry. They are stacked as a one-dimensional chain structure throug...

A comparison of three crystalline forms of miconazole: solvent-free, ethanol monosolvate and hemihydrate
The crystal structures of miconazole {MIC, C18H14Cl4N2O, systematic name (RS)-1-[2-(2,4-dichlorobenzyloxy)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-imidazole}, its ethanol monosolvate (C18H14Cl4N2O · C2H5OH) and its hemihydrate (C18H14Cl4N2O · 0.5H2O) were compared. A detailed comparison of the molecular conformation of the miconazole molecules showed a structural similarity of the solvate forms, whereas the unsolvated form is related to the gas-phase structure. This suggests that the molecular conformation of miconazole is influenced by solvent molecules. The crystal architectures of the considered solvatomorphs are differentiat...

Step-stool conformation of a cyclic Schiff base derived from ethylenediamine and heptane-2,4,6-trione: evidence for partial hydrolysis in metal coordination
A Schiff base derived from ethylenediamine and heptane-2,4,6-trione, namely, 5,9,14,18-tetramethyl-1,4,10,13-tetraazacyclooctadeca-5,8,14,17-tetraene-7,16-dione (C18H28N4O2), abbreviated H4daaden, was prepared and characterized for the first time by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The atoms of the Schiff base occupy two different planes and thus the molecule is essentially nonplanar. An axis running through the C — C atoms of the ethylenediamine groups separate the two planes and these two planes are connected by bridging ethylene groups showing an angle of 117.34   (8) ° . As a result, the side view of the molecule...

Hexamethylenetetramine – tridecanedioic acid (1/1): temperature-induced order – disorder structural phase transitions with phase co-existence
The cocrystal hexamethylenetetramine – tridecanedioic acid (1/1) (HMT – C13), C6H12N4 · C13H24O4, was investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques at several temperatures during cooling and heating processes. Our results show the formation of two crystalline phases, separated by a large temperature phase co-existence between 290 and 340   K. Phase I, stable above 341   K, presents an orthorhombic structure described in the space group Bmmb, with one N4(CH2)6 · C13H22O4 adduct in its asymmetric unit. Phase II, stable below 290   K, presents a monoclinic symmetry described by the space group P21/c,...

Weaving a 2D net of hydrogen and halogen bonds: cocrystal of a pyrazolium bromide with tetrafluorodiiodobenzene
Hydrohalides of Lewis bases may act as halogen bond (XB) acceptors and combine two directional interactions, namely, hydrogen bonds (HB) and XBs in the same solid. 3-(1,3,5-Trimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)acetylacetone (C11H16N2O2, HacacMePz) was protonated with HX (X   = Cl or Br) to afford the hydrohalides, C11H17N2O2+ · X − or H2acacMePz+ · X − (1, X   = Cl; 2, X   = Br). Hydrohalides 1 and 2 are isomorphous and adopt a classical dipole packing. Consistent with the observation for most β -diketones, the enol form with an intramolecular HB is observed. Additional noteworthy interactions are HBs of the protonated pyra...

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the compound is a new two-dimensional (2D) double-layered structure with one-dimensional left-handed helical chains. The different intermolecular interactions were confirmed using Hirshfeld...

Solid forms and β -cyclodextrin complexation of turinabol
4-Chloro-17 β -hydroxy-17 α -methylandrosta-1,4-dien-3-one (C20H27ClO2), known as turinabol, is a synthetic anabolic – androgenic agent which belongs to the steroid class. Recrystallization from various solvents was performed and the following new solid forms of turinabol were obtained: the hemihydrate (C20H27ClO2 · 0.5H2O), the anhydrous form (C20H27ClO2), the multicomponent acetic acid hydrate (2C20H27ClO2 · C2H4O2 · H2O) and the 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol hemisolvate (C20H27ClO2 · 0.5C2H3F3O). The absolute structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The starting hemihydrate form contains one turi...

Synthesis and characterization of the `Japanese rice-ball'-shaped Molybdenum Blue Na4[Mo2O2(OH)4(C6H4NO2)2]2[Mo120Ce6O366H12(OH)2(H2O)76] ∼ 200H2O
The hybridized lanthanide-containing molybdenum blue (Ln-MB) wheel Na4[Mo2O2(OH)4(C6H4NO2)2]2[Mo120Ce6O366H12(OH)2(H2O)76] ∼ 200H2O ({Mo2(C6H4NO2)2}2{Mo120Ce6}) was assembled in an aqueous one-pot synthesis. The Ln-MB was hybridized with 2-picolinic acid through the generation of the organometallic counter-ion [Mo2O2(OH)4(C6H4NO2)2]2+. Control experiments demonstrated that the position of the carboxylic acid group (2-position to the N atom) in the hybridization component is critical in yielding single crystals of Ln-MB. In addition to single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, which revealed a `Japanese rice-ball'-...
