Cover illustration: The crystal structures of four N-(4-halophenyl)-4-oxo-4H-chromene-3-carboxamides (halo = F, Cl, Br and I) are described. Each molecule features intramolecular N-HO and C-H
O hydrogen bonds, which help to establish a near planar conformation. This may correlate with their promising monoamino oxidase inhibitor activity, which could lead to new insights into possible treatments of Parkinson's disease. See: Gomes, Low, Cagide & Borges [Acta Cryst. (2014). E70, 88-93].

A new triple molybdate K0.4Na3.6Co(MoO4)3 was synthesized using solid-state reaction at 973 K and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The structure is characterized by M2O10 (M = Co/Na) dimers, which are linked by MoO4 tetrahedra, forming infinite layers. The latter are connected on one hand by insertion of Mo1O4 tetrahedra and secondly by sharing corners with Mo2O4 tetrahedra.

Reaction of 4-methyl benzyl chloride with barbituric acid gave 5,5-bis(4-methylbenzyl)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione, which crystallized with two molecules in its asymmetric unit along with two solvent water molecules. A hydrogen-bonded sheet is formed by a combination of N—H⋯O and Owater—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which are further interconnected by C—H⋯πaryl interactions, leading to a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.

The structures of two isomeric compounds of isoquinoline with 3-chloro-2-nitrobenzoic acid and 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoic acid have been determined at 190 K. In each compound, the acid and base molecules are held together by a short hydrogen bond between a carboxy O atom and a base N atom. In the hydrogen-bonded unit of the former, the H atom is disordered over two positions, while in the latter, an acid–base interaction involving H-atom transfer occurs and the H atom is located at the N site.

A new monoclinic (P21/c) polymorph of the title compound has the same overall conformation as a previously reported (Cc) form with the exception of the conformation of the outer hydroxy H atom. This difference results in very different crystal packing based on hydrogen bonding, i.e. supramolecular tubes in the new form as opposed to a three-dimensional architecture in the Cc form.
