AfCA collection
Celebrating work published by African researchers in IUCr journals
Edited by Susan Bourne, Delia Haynes and Michele Zema
To commemorate the founding of the African Crystallographic Association and also to mark the 75th anniversary of the IUCr, we are publishing a special collection of articles from African researchers, which will provide a valuable and visible endorsement of the development of crystallography in Africa.

The title benzimidazole compounds were synthesized by the condensation reaction of benzene-1,2-diamine with 4-methoxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde in the ratios 1:1 and 1:2, respectively. Both compounds exhibit significant anticorrosion properties with respect to iron and copper.

The hydrazone form is the predominant form in the solid state. The naphthol and benzene fragments attached to the –N=N– moiety adopt the s-trans conformation. There are only two types of intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure: strong hydrogen-bonding C—H⋯O interactions and π–π stacking interactions.

N-(5-Acetyl-4-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide was synthesized and structurally characterized. In the crystal, π–π interactions between the phenyl and pyrimidine groups of neighbouring molecules form molecular chains parallel to [010]. Adjacent chains are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding interactions, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
