Single crystals of molybdenum-incorporated tris(thiourea)zinc(II) sulfate (MoZTS) are grown by the slow evaporation solution growth technique. Crystal composition as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that it belongs to the orthorhombic system with space groupPca21and cell parametersa= 11.153 (2),b= 7.7691 (14),c= 15.408 (3) Å,V= 1335.14 (4) Å3andZ= 4. The surface morphological changes are studied by scanning electron microscopy. The vibrational patterns in FT–IR are used to identify the functional group and TGA/DTA (thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis) indicates the stability of the material. The structure and the crystallinity of the material were confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis and the simulated X-ray diffraction (XRD) closely matches the experimental one with varied intensity patterns. The band gap energy is estimated using diffuse reflectance data by the application of the Kubelka–Munk algorithm. The relative second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency measurements reveal that MoZTS has an efficiency comparable to that of tris(thiourea)zinc(II) sulfate (ZTS). Hirshfeld surfaces were derived using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Investigation of the intermolecular interactions and crystal packingviaHirshfeld surface analysis reveal that the close contacts are associated with strong interactions. Intermolecular interactions as revealed by the fingerprint plot and close packing could be the possible reasons for facile charge transfer leading to SHG activity.

A 1:1 co-crystal of trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,3-diaminotoluene was prepared by solvent evapo- ration, and the structure of the co-crystal was determined by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that the main mechanism of co-crystallization originates from the intermolecular hy- drogen bonding (amino-nitro) and π-π stacking. We also examined the Hirshfeld surfaces and associated fingerprint plots of the co-crystal and reveal that the structures are stabilized by H…H, O–H, O…O and C…C (π-π) intermolecular interactions. We analyzed the crystal packing and show its influence upon im- pact sensitivity. The results highlight that co-crystallization is an effective way to modify the sensitivity, oxygen balance and density of explosives.

Abstract The reaction between CdCl2 and PPh2{C6H4 [CH2N(CH2CH2)2O]-2} (1) in a 1:1 molar ratio resulted in the cadmium(II) complex CdCl2[PPh2{C6H4[CH2N(CH2CH2)2O]-2}] (2). The complex 2 was characterized in solution by NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, and 31P). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed no intramolecular N→P interaction in 1. The phosphane ligand behaves as a P,N chelating moiety in the cadmium complex 2, thus resulting in a species containing distorted tetrahedral environments around cadmium and phosphorus. Short intermolecular interactions CH‧‧‧π aryl and CH‧‧‧O in 1 and CH‧‧‧π aryl and CH‧‧‧Cl in 2 resulted in supramolecular networks.

Cocrystallization is an important route to tuning the solubility in drugs development, including improving and reducing. Five cocrystals of aripiprazole (ARI) with resveratrol (RSV) and kaempferol (KAE), ARI-RSV, ARI2-RSV1·MeOH, ARI-KAE, ARI-KAE·EtOH, ARI-KAE·IPA, were synthesized and characterized. The single crystal of ARI2-RSV1·MeOH, ARI-KAE·EtOH, and ARI-KAE·IPA were analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). The SCXRD showed multiple intermolecular interactions between API and the coformers, including hydrogen bond, halogen bond, and π-π interactions. Dissolution rate of the two nonsolvate ARI-RSV and ARI-KAE cocrystals were investigated through powder dissolution experiment in pH = 4.0 acetate buffer and pH = 6.8 phosphate buffer. The result showed that RSV could reduce the dissolution rate and solubility of ARI in both medium through cocrystallization. However, KAE improved the dissolution rate and solubility of ARI in pH = 4.0 medium, on the contrary, the two solubility indicators of ARI were both reduced for ARI-KAE cocrystal.

Cyclisation of 5-amino-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbimidoyl cyanide and 3-amino-3-((Z)-2-cyano-2-phenylvinylamino)maleonitrile using either triethyl orthoformate or triethyl orthopropionate in dimethylformamide (DMF):1,4-dioxane (1:1 v/v) mixture under reflux conditions afforded 5-alkyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-7-carbonitriles and (Z)-1-(2-cyano-2-phenylvinyl)-2-alkyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitriles, respectively, in moderate to good yields. The structures of these novel compounds were confirmed with 1H/13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and high-resolution mass spectroscopic methods. Two representative compounds from these molecules, namely 5-ethyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-7-carbonitrile and (Z)-1-(2-cyano-2-phenylvinyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile, were further analysed by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. A comprehensive study of structural features and intermolecular interactions present among these heterocyclic compounds was carried out. The crystal data were further examined by a Hirshfeld surface analysis, which provided qualitative and quantitative information on various intermolecular interactions experienced within the crystal network.

The search for new tuberculostatics is important considering the occurrence of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Three polymorphs of N′-(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-4-nitrobenzohydrazide (a potentially tuberculostatic agent), C10H9N3O3S2, denoted (I1), (I2) and (I3), and the monohydrate of this compound, C10H9N3O3S2·H2O, (I4), have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The conformations of the molecules in all these structures are very similar. Structures (I1), (I2) and (I3) provide an example of packing polymorphism resulting from different intermolecular interactions.

Uniaxial compression tests and hydrostatic tests at pressures up to 27 kbars have been performed to determine operating slip systems in single crystal and polycrystal1ine beryllium. A recent study has been made of wave propagation in single crystal beryllium by shock loading to selectively activate various slip systems, and this has been followed by a study of wave propagation and spallation in textured, polycrystal1ine beryllium. An alteration in the X-ray diffraction pattern has been noted after shock loading, but this alteration has not yet been correlated with any structural change occurring during shock loading of polycrystal1ine beryllium.This study is being conducted in an effort to characterize the effects of shock loading on textured, polycrystal1ine beryllium. Samples were fabricated from a billet of Kawecki-Berylco hot pressed HP-10 beryllium.
