Cover illustration: Variously substituted N-aryl-4-oxo-4H-chromene-3-carboxamide derivatives present planar conformations between the carboxamide moiety and the chromone ring stabilized by intramolecular N-H...O hydrogen bonding. Despite the similarity in structures, they function differentially as h-MAO-B inhibitors, an observation correlated with the electronic moderation induced by the substituents in the exocyclic aryl ring.

In Na9Cr(MoO4)6 the basic structure units are isolated polyhedral clusters composed of a central CrO6 octa­hedron sharing vertices with six MoO4 to form an open (0D) framework in which the Na+ cations are oriented at the free vertices of the MoO4 tetra­hedra.

In the first reported crystal structure of the family of lithium phosphate diesters, the Li atom is in a slightly distorted tetra­hedral coordination environment and exhibits one intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond between a coordinating methanol mol­ecule and the terminal non-coordinating O atom of the phosphate group. The unit is connected with two non-coordinating methanol mol­ecules through two inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and with a neighbouring unit through two other O—H⋯O inter­actions.

The crystal structure of calcium levulinate dihydrate forms a one-dimensional coordination polymer based on a CaO8 complex unit which lies on a twofold rotation axis. This unit comprises two monodentate water O-atom donors and six carboxyl­ate O-atom donors, two of which are also bridging, from the two bidentate chelate levulinate ligands. The complex chains are stabilized by intra- and inter­molecular water O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an overall three-dimensional structure.

In each of the title compounds, the anion shows evidence of extensive electronic delocalization. A combination of N—H⋯N and X—H⋯N hydrogen bonds links the ions in (I) into a ribbon of alternating centrosymmetric R_{4}^{4}(18) and R_{4}^{4}(26) rings, and those in (II) into simple C_{2}^{1}(7) chains of alternating cations and anion with further cations pendent from the chain.

While attempting to synthesize a cyclo­penta­dienyl iridium complex by the reaction between IrCl3·xH2O in methanol, several well-shaped crystals formed from the reaction mixture. Surprisingly, the crystals were of di-μ-chlorido-bis­[di­chlorido­bis­(methanol-κO)iridium(III)] dihydrate, [Ir2Cl6(CH3OH)4]·2H2O. This is a surprising result in that, while many reactions of iridium chloride hydrate are carried out in alcoholic solvents, especially methanol and ethanol, this is the first structure of a chlorido-iridium compound with only methanol ligands.

N-(Substituted phen­yl)-4-oxo-4H-chromene-3-carboxamides have very similar conformations but show different inhibition activities against h-MAO-B so it may be assumed that the electronic environment provided by the substituents on the phenyl ring is the primary condition for the pharmacological activities displayed by these mol­ecules.
