Crystallographic studies of piperazine derivatives of 5,5-dimethylhydantoin in the search for structural features of α1-adrenoreceptors antagonists
Six 5,5-dimethylhydantoin derivatives were investigated towards the search for structural features responsible for affinity for α1-adrenoreceptors. Compounds with higher activity prefer an extended conformation, which leads to larger distances between the end aromatic rings, while for compounds with lower affinity, the distances between the end aromatic rings are shorter.


Crystal structures of two pyrrolidin-1-yl derivatives of cathinone: α-PVP and α-D2PV
The crystal structure of the hydrated chloride salt of cathinone α-PVP is presented for the first time but has been known on the market of psychoactive substances for a long time. The chloride salt of α-D2PV was crystallized without water molecules in the crystal structure, which allowed a comparison with the hydrated form and thus a better understanding of its properties.

High-pressure synthesis of bilayer nickelate Sr3Ni2O5Cl2 with a tetragonal crystal structure
A theoretical candidate for a new Ni oxide superconductor, Sr3Ni2O5Cl2, has been synthesized for the first time under high-pressure conditions (10 GPa and 1673 K). While it adopts the tetragonal Ruddlesden–Popper phase structure predicted by theoretical calculations, resistance measurements revealed no superconductivity down to 2 K under pressures up to 24 GPa.
