Synthesis, crystal structure and bioactivities of α-asaronol

α-Asaronol [or (E)-3′-hy­droxy­asarone] was synthesized, grown as single crystals, characterized and further evaluated for neuroprotective activities towards the development of a potential anti­epileptic drug.

Investigating pair distribution function use in analysis of nanocrystalline hy­droxy­apatite and carbonate-substituted hy­droxy­apatite

Hy­droxy­apatite is a com­plex material, which is often nanocrystalline and substituted within a biological setting. Both long-range and local structures were inter­rogated with X-ray diffraction and X-ray total scattering.

Crystal structures of co­crys­tals of 2,7-di­hydroxy­naphthalene with isoniazid and piracetam

Two co­crys­tals of 2,7-di­hydroxy­naphthalene with the active pharmaceutical ingredients isoniazid and piracetam were prepared by the solvent-assisted grinding method.

Novel first-row transition-metal phosphates: hydro­thermal synthesis and crystal structures

Novel double transition-metal phosphates, Na₂NiCu(PO₄)₂ and Mn₂Cu(PO₄)₂, with a rare combination of Ni/Cu and Mn/Cu metal atoms, synthesized hydro­thermally and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, are discussed as potential magnetic materials.

A mol­ecular substitutional disorder case study suitable for instruction: L₂Cr^II(THF)/L₂[(tri­methyl­sil­yl)meth­yl]Cr^III (L is 2,5-bis­{[(2,6-di­iso­propyl­phen­yl)imino]­meth­yl}pyrrol-1-ide)

A cocrystallization of Cr^II and Cr^III com­plexes yields a data set suitable for the instruction of mol­ecular substitutional disorder.

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 synthesis and crystal structure of a `Japanese rice-ball'-shaped Molybdenum Blue hybridized organically with 2-picolinic acid is presented. In addition to single-crystal X-ray analysis, the title com­pound was characterized with IR spectroscopy and elemental analyses to reinforce its framework structure, thermogravimetric analysis to qu­antify the water content, and Vis–NIR spectroscopy to determine the degree of reduction of the nanocluster.

Solid forms and β-cyclo­dextrin com­plexation of turinabol

New solid forms of oral turinabol and its β-cyclo­dextrin com­plexation were investigated.

A new chiral rare-earth organic framework constructed by tartaric acid: synthesis, structural, thermal investigations and optical properties

A new Ce^III coordination polymer based on the tartrate ligand has been prepared and structurally characterized. It exhibits good thermal stability and photoluminescence properties. The IR spectra, UV spectra and PXRD patterns were investigated and a Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out.
