The 1:1 adduct of pyridine and urea crystallizes in the P21/c space group with Z = 4 (Z′ = 1). The structure is of a standard type for urea adducts, whereby the urea molecules form a ribbon consisting of linked (8) rings and the pyridine molecules are attached to the periphery of the ribbon by bifurcated (N—H⋯)2N hydrogen bonds. The 1:1 adduct of pyridine and thiourea crystallizes in the P21/n space group with Z = 32 (Z′ = 8). The structure displays similar ribbons to those of the urea adduct.

The synthesis and structural determination of the diethylammonium and propylammonium salts of bis(salicylato)borate are reported. The crystal structures are stabilized by N—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π/N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The salts displays a strong blue-light emission with maxima around 490 nm which appears to be derived from the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) excited state.

A novel CoII-containing twofold interpenetrated coordination polymer was assembled with the flexible ligand 5-[(4-carboxyphenoxy)methyl]isophthalic acid. The polymer adopts a (3,5)-connected topology and shows antiferromagnetic interactions between the two CoII cations in the asymmetric unit.

The molecule [1-(pyrazin-2-yl)ethylidene]hydrazine consists of an imine linkage with an N—N bond length of 1.3540 (14) Å. This asymmetric compound is nearly planar and adopts an E configuration about the azomethine C=N double bond. In the solid state, there are two intermolecular N—H⋯N interactions that interconnect the molecules into a two-dimensional network.

Two conformational polymorphs of a hydroquinone derivative with flexible dibenzylamino groups were obtained. A partial conformational difference in the molecular structures leads to significant structural differences in their molecular arrangements.

The novel dinuclear cyanophenylboronic ester 4,4′-(2,4,8,10-tetraoxa-3,9-diboraspiro[5.5]undecane-3,9-diyl)dibenzonitrile was prepared by condensation of 4-cyanophenylboronic acid and pentaerythritol. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations with ethanol as solvent reproduced reasonably well the HOMO and LUMO.

Single crystals of the vanadate garnet Ca2NaCd2V3O12 were synthesized using the floating-zone method and the crystal structure was investigated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The effectiveness of substitution of the garnet Y-site cation with reference to previous structural studies of vanadate garnets was considered.

The synthesis and crystal structure of a monoclinic polymorph of the dimer of 9-anthraldehyde have been investigated, together with a theoretical evaluation of its natural bonding orbitals, electronic transitions and second-order hyperpolarizability. The crystal structure shows the formation of one-dimensional chains through intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds linked by C—H⋯π(ring) interactions.

In the crystal structures of nine new salts of the antifolate drugs trimethoprim and pyrimethamine, the pyrimidine N1 atom is protonated. The cation interacts with the corresponding anion primarily via a pair of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating the robust (8) supramolecular heterosynthon. The pyrimidinium cation also forms base pairs via a pair of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating a ring motif [(8) supramolecular homosynthon]. Quadruple DDAA/DADA arrays of hydrogen bonds and noncovalent Cl⋯Cl, Cl⋯O, C—Br⋯π, C—Cl⋯π, C—H⋯π and π–π interactions further stabilize the crystal structures.

Seven new 1,4-diaryl-5-trifluoromethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles have been synthesized and their X-ray structures determined and compared to that of J147, a recently reported promising new drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculations have been performed to determine the potential surface and the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) of J147, and to examine the correlation between hydrazone J147 and the 1,2,3-triazoles.
