The synthesis and characterization of a series of cocrystals of an isoniazid derivative with butan-2-one and propan-2-one
Four cocrystals containing N ′ -(butan-2-ylidene)pyridine-4-carbohydrazide (izbt) and one cocrystal containing N ′ -isopropylideneisonicotinohydrazide (izact) were synthesized by reacting isoniazid with either butan-2-one (for the former) or acetone (for the latter). The coformers used to synthesize the izbt cocrystals were 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 2-chloro-4-nitrobenzoic acid and 1-naphthoic acid. 1-Naphthoic acid was also used with izact to form a cocrystal. The 1:1 cocrystals are: N ′ -(butan-2-ylidene)pyridine-4-carbohydrazide – 1-naphthoic acid (izbt – 1nta), C10H13N3O · C11H8O2...

Accurate X-ray diffraction data required for proper evaluation of bond valence sums and global instability indexes: redetermination of the crystal structures of diamond-like Cu2CdSiS4 and Cu2HgSnS4 as a case study
Our calculations of the global instability index (G) values for some diamond-like materials with the general formula I2 – II – IV – VI4 have indicated that the structures may be unstable or incorrectly determined. To compute the G value of a given compound, the bond valence sums (BVSs) must first be calculated using a crystal structure. Two examples of compounds with high G values, based on data from the literature, are the wurtz – stannite-type dicopper cadmium silicon tetrasulfide (Cu2CdSiS4) and the stannite-type dicopper mercury tin tetrasulfide (Cu2HgSnS4), which were first reported in 1967 and 1965, respectiv...

Conformational polymorphism of 3-(azidomethyl)benzoic acid
Three conformational polymorphs of 3-(azidomethyl)benzoic acid, C8H7N3O2, are reported. All three structures maintain similar carboxylic acid dimers and π – π stacking. Crystal structure analysis and computational evaluations highlight the azidomethyl group as a source of conformational polymorphism, thus having potential implications in the design of solid-state reactions.

Z-Ala – Ile-OH, a dipeptide building block suitable for the formation of orthorhombic microtubes
Self-assembling dipeptides have emerged in the last two decades as promising building blocks for the development of novel biomaterials. Among the various classes of dipeptides, aromatic dipeptides and especially diphenylalanine (Phe – Phe), which forms hexagonal nanotubes, have been the most extensively studied. However, aliphatic peptides or mixed aromatic – aliphatic dipeptides seem just as promising, exhibiting various structures ranging from amyloid fibrils to microtubes. Herein we report the single-crystal structure of an aliphatic dipeptide, alanine – isoleucine (Ala – Ile), C17H24N2O5, protected with a benzy...

Tb2 – xNdxZn17 – yNiy (x   = 0.5, y   = 4.83): a new intermetallic with a maximum disordered structure and its hydrogen storage properties
The ternary Tb2 – xNdxZn17 – yNiy (x   = 0.5, y   = 4.83) disordered phase belongs to the structural family based on the rhombohedral Th2Zn17 structure type. The structure is maximally disordered since all the sites are occupied by statistical mixtures of atoms. The Tb/Nd mixture of atoms occupies the 6c site (site symmetry 3m). The statistical mixtures Ni/Zn consisting of more Ni atoms are located in the 6c and 9d (symmetry .2/m) sites. In the following 18f (site symmetry .2) and 18h (site symmetry .m) sites are located Zn/Ni statistical mixtures which consist of more Zn atoms. Zn/Ni atoms form three-dimensional net...

N-[(4-Fluorophenyl)sulfanyl]phthalimide (C14H8FNO2S, FP) was synthesized and characterized using X-ray crystallography. It was then investigated via quantum chemical analysis using the density functional theory (DFT) approach, as well as spectrochemically using FT – IR and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The observed and stimulated spectra are in very good agreement for the DFT method. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of FP against three Gram-positive bacteria, three Gram-negative bacteria and two fungi were determined using the serial dilution method, and FP showed the highest antibacterial activ...
