A salt from biologically active compounds pyridine‐2,3‐dicarboxylic (quinolinic) acid and cytosine

  •  11 October 2024

Graphical Abstract

A salt from biologically active compounds pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic (quinolinic) acid and cytosine Issue ,

A salt of pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic (quinolinic) acid with cytosine was obtained wherein a proton was transferred from a carboxyl group of quinolinic acid to a ring N atom in the cytosine molecule. Significant interactions involving O…H contacts were identified in the quinolinate and cytosinium ions.

Photocrystallography – common or exclusive?

Graphical Abstract

Photocrystallography – common or exclusive? Issue ,

To broaden the community and encourage researchers to use photocrystallographic methods, review articles, such as that of Hatcher et al.[(2024). Acta Cryst. C80, 585–600], showing the fundamentals of the approaches, most significant examples of such studies, but also guiding the reader through various stages of sample preparation and experiment planning, are very much needed.

Structural insights into supramolecular interactions in isostructural salts of 2,4,6‐triaminopyrimidinium with various heterocyclic carboxylates

  •  4 October 2024

Graphical Abstract

Structural insights into supramolecular interactions in isostructural salts of 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidinium with various heterocyclic carboxylates Issue ,

2,4,6-Triaminopyrimidine is an interesting and challenging molecule due to the presence of multiple hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors. Four new salts have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques and their noncovalent interactions and supramolecular patterns have been investigated.

Molecular and crystal structures of six poly(arylsulfinyl)‐ and poly(arylsulfanyl)ferrocenes

  •  4 October 2024

Graphical Abstract

Molecular and crystal structures of six poly(arylsulfinyl)- and poly(arylsulfanyl)ferrocenes Issue ,

The structures of four polysulfinyl- and two polysulfanylferrocenes were examined. Nonclassical C—H…X (X = O, S and C) hydrogen bonds have a large influence on most of the individual crystal structures, with different importance for the sulfinyl and sulfanyl compounds. Chalcogen O…O, S…S or S…O bonding is not significant, except for one compound, and π–ring interactions are important for only one compound.
