The 1:1 co-crystal N′-[(2-methylphenyl)methylidene]pyridine-4-carbohydrazide–benzoic acid (1/1) formed unexpectedly after autoxidation of benzaldehyde during the slow evaporation process of a solution of isoniazid in benzaldehyde. The original intent of the synthesis was to modify isoniazid with benzaldehyde and crystallize the product in order to improve efficacy against Mycobacteria species, but benzoic acid formed spontaneously and co-crystallized with the intended product, N′-benzylidenepyridine-4-carbohydrazide.

In the title compound, C38H28O6, the dihedral angles between the naphthalene ring system and its pendant benzyloxy rings A and B are 88.05 (7) and 80.84 (7)°, respectively. The dihedral angles between the A and B rings and their attached phenyl rings are 49.15 (8) and 80.78 (8)°, respectively. In the extended structure, the molecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π bonds and π–π stacking interactions, which variously generate C(11) chains and (12) loops as part of a three-dimensional network. The Hirshfeld surface [fingerprint contributions = H⋯H (42.3%), C⋯H/H⋯C (40.3%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (15.7%)] and intermolecular interaction energies are reported, with dispersion, Edis at −428.6 kJ mol−1 being the major contributor.

While several actinyl tetrahalides have been synthesized and their structures reported, (NH4)2(UO2Cl4)·2H2O represents a new uranyl tetrachloride salt synthesized in a slow evaporation from a 2 M hydrochloric acid solution. Its optical properties were measured by diffuse reflectance and luminescence spectroscopies, while powder X-ray diffraction confirmed an ammonium chloride impurity phase.

In the title compound, the NaI atom has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment. The molecular structure exhibits an intramolecular bifurcated O—H⋯[N(tertiary amine), N(pyridyl)] hydrogen bond. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by the bridging Na—O(sulfonato) coordination bonds and the intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network structure.
