2α-Methyl-4,5α-dihydrotestosterone 17β-propionate, known as drostanolone propionate or masteron, is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone. The crystal structures of two polymorphs of drostanolone propionate have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and both crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system. One is belonging to the P21 space group, Z = 2, and has one molecule in the asymmetric unit while the second belongs to the I2 space group, Z = 4, and contains two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Another polymorph has been investigated by an X-ray powder diffraction method and solved by Parallel tempering/Monte Carlo technique and refined with the Rietveld method. This polymorph crystallizes in the orthorhombic P212121 space group, Z = 4 having one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The structural configuration analysis shows that the A, B, and C steroid rings exist as chair geometry, while ring D adopts a C13 distorted envelope configuration in all structures. For all polymorphs, the lattice energy has been computed by CLP (Coulomb-London-Pauli), and tight-binding density functional theory methods. Local electron correlation methods were used to estimate the role of electron correlation in the magnitude of the dimer energies. The nature of the intermolecular interactions has been analyzed by the SAPT0 energy decomposition methods as well as by Hirshfeld surfaces.

A new polymorph of bis(2-aminopyridinium) fumarate–fumaric acid (1/1), 2C5H7N2+·C4H2O42−·C4H4O4, was obtained and its crystal structure determined by powder X-ray diffraction. The new polymorph (form II) crystallizes in the triclinic system (space groupP\overline{1}), while the previous reported polymorph [form I; Ballabh, Trivedi, Dastidar & Suresh (2002).CrystEngComm,4, 135–142; Büyükgüngör, Odabaşoğlu, Albayrak & Lönnecke (2004).Acta Cryst.C60, o470–o472] is monoclinic (space groupP21/c). In both forms I and II, the asymmetric unit consists of one 2-aminopyridinium cation, half a fumaric acid molecule and half a fumarate dianion. The fumarate dianion is involved in hydrogen bonding with two neighbouring 2-aminopyridinium cations to form a hydrogen-bonded trimer in both forms. In form II, the hydrogen-bonded trimers are interlinked across centres of inversionviapairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, whereas such trimers are joinedviasingle N—H...O hydrogen bonds in form I, leading to different packing modes for forms I and II. The results demonstrate the relevance and application of the powder diffraction method in the study of polymorphism of organic molecular materials.

Two newly halogenated chalcones, derivatives of C15H10ClFO (CH-ClF) and C15H10F2O (CH-FF), were synthesized using the Claisen–Schmidt condensation method. Both compounds were crystallized using a slow evaporation method, forming a monoclinic crystal system with a space group of P21 and P21/c, respectively. The compounds were further analyzed using spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Ultraviolet–Visible (UV–vis) analyses. The single crystal X-ray diffraction method revealed the existence of C−H⋯O and C−H⋯F intermolecular interactions in CH-FF. Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed to confirm the existence of intermolecular interactions in the compounds. The molecular geometries obtained from the X-ray structure determination were further used to optimize the structures using density functional theory (DFT), with the B3LYP/6-311G++(d,p) basis set in the ground state. The TD-DFT/B3LYP method was used to obtain the electronic properties and the HOMO–LUMO energy gap. Both compounds exhibited A-π-A architecture with different halogen substituents in which the CH-FF, containing -fluoro substituents, possessed good electron injection ability due to its electronegative properties. This increased the flow of the charge transfer for the dye regeneration process and enhanced the efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC).

Phytases are phosphatases that hydrolyze phytates to less phosphorylatedmyo-inositol derivatives and inorganic phosphate. β-Propeller phytases, which are very diverse phytases with improved thermostability that are active at neutral and alkaline pH and have absolute substrate specificity, are ideal substitutes for other commercial phytases. PhyH-DI, a β-propeller phytase fromBacillussp. HJB17, was found to act synergistically with other single-domain phytases and can increase their efficiency in the hydrolysis of phytate. Crystals of native and selenomethionine-substituted PhyH-DI were obtained using the vapour-diffusion method in a condition consisting of 0.2 Msodium chloride, 0.1 MTris pH 8.5, 25%(w/v) PEG 3350 at 289 K. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 3.00 and 2.70 Å resolution, respectively, at 100 K. Native PhyH-DI crystals belonged to space groupC121, with unit-cell parametersa = 156.84,b = 45.54,c = 97.64 Å, α = 90.00, β = 125.86, γ = 90.00°. The asymmetric unit contained two molecules of PhyH-DI, with a corresponding Matthews coefficient of 2.17 Å3 Da−1and a solvent content of 43.26%. Crystals of selenomethionine-substituted PhyH-DI belonged to space groupC2221, with unit-cell parametersa = 94.71,b= 97.03,c= 69.16 Å, α = β = γ = 90.00°. The asymmetric unit contained one molecule of the protein, with a corresponding Matthews coefficient of 2.44 Å3 Da−1and a solvent content of 49.64%. Initial phases for PhyH-DI were obtained from SeMet SAD data sets. These data will be useful for further studies of the structure–function relationship of PhyH-DI.

Abstract Ag2FeGeS4 was synthesized as a phase-pure and highly crystalline product by mechanochemical milling from the binary sulfides and iron metal, followed by annealing in H2S atmosphere. The structure evaluation was carried out using X-ray powder diffraction with subsequent Rietveld refinements. As Fe and Ge atoms are not distinguishable using conventional X-ray methods, the chalcopyrite-type structure (space group I 4 ‾ 2 d $I‾{4}2d$ ), exhibiting a statistical distribution of Fe and Ge on Wyckoff position 4b, was considered. However, quantum-chemical calculations at hybrid density-functional level indicate that mechanochemically prepared Ag2FeGeS4 crystallizes in the kesterite-type structure (space group I 4 ‾ $I‾{4}$ ) where the cations are arranged in an ordered way. Ag2FeGeS4 is a further example of a mechanochemically prepared compound differing structurally from the commonly known polymorph exhibiting the stannite type (solid-state route).

Diosgenone [(20S,22R,25R)-spirost-4-en-3-one, C27H40O3] has been proposed as a new therapeutic alternative for the treatment of malaria. The first X-ray structure report for diosgenone was by Piroet al.[(2002).Z. Naturforsch. Teil C,57, 947–950] in the space groupP21(Z′ = 2). We now report a new polymorph in the same space group, with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Both molecules have similar conformations, characterized by a skewed envelopeAring, which contains the C=C bond conjugated with the ketone functionality at C3. The dimorphism results from a modification of the relative orientation of the molecules in the asymmetric unit: two independent molecules were arranged antiparallel in the Piro report, while they are parallel in the present determination.

The isotypic carbides Ln4C7 (Ln = Ho, Er, Tm, Lu) were prepared by arc-melting of the elemental components, followed by annealing at 1300 °C. The positions of the metal and of some carbon atoms of the monoclinic crystal structure of LU4C7 were determined from X-ray powder data, and the last carbon positions were found and refined from neutron powder diffraction data: P21/c, a = 360.4(1), b = 1351.4(3), c = 629.0(2) pm, β = 104.97(2)°, Z = 2, R = 0.026 for 429 structure factors and 15 positional parameters. The structure contains isolated carbon atoms with octahedral lutetium coordination and linear C3-units, with C-C bond lengths of 132(1) and 135(1) pm. This carbide may therefore be considered as derived from methane and propadiene. The hydrolysis of LU4C7 with distilled water yields mainly methane and propine, while the hydrolyses of the corresponding holmium and erbium carbides resulted in relatively large amounts of saturated and unsaturated C2-hydrocarbons in addition to the expected products methane and propine. The structure comprises two-dimensionally infinite NaCl-type building elements, which are separated by the C3-units. It may be described as a stacking variant of a previously reported structure of HO4C7, now designated as the a-modification. The Lu4C7-type β -modification was obtained at higher temperatures. Its structure was refined by the Rietveld method from X-ray powder data to a residual R = 0.037 for 320 F values and 15 positional parameters. Lu4C7 is Pauli paramagnetic; β -HO4C7 and Er4C7 show Curie-Weiss behavior with magnetic ordering temperatures of less than 20 K.

The crystal structures of Ca1.5Mn0.5V2O7 (I) and Ca1.5Cd0.5V2O7 (II) synthesized by the citrate method and by a conventional solid-state reaction, respectively, were determined using X-ray powder diffraction data. It was found that the compound I has a monoclinic crystal structure a = 4.88563(9) Å, b = 11.21279(22) Å, c = 5.69643(11 Å), β = 96.376(7)°, V = 310.132(10) Å3 (space group P21/c), Z = 2). Compound I has a narrow homogeneity region Ca1.5±0.1Mn0.5±0.1V2O7. The vanadate Ca1.5Cd0.5V2O7 crystallizes in the triclinic system with the parameters a = 6.66139(6) Å, b = 6.93019(7) Å, c = 7.02211(6) Å, α = 85.4404(9)°, β = 63.7505(7)°, γ = 82.5515(10)° и V = 288.201(5) Å3 (space group P$\bar 1$, Z = 2). It is one of the formulations of the primary solid solution, formed as a result of the substitution of part of the calcium cations for cadmium cations in Ca2V2O7.

Synthesis and characterization of anhydrous LiZn(IO3)3 powders prepared from an aqueous solution are reported. Morphological and compositional analyses were carried out by using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray measurements. The synthesized powders exhibited a needle-like morphology after annealing at 400 °C. A crystal structure for the synthesized compound was proposed from powder X-ray diffraction and density-functional theory calculations. Rietveld refinements led to a monoclinic structure, which can be described with space group P21, number 4, and unit-cell parameters a = 21.874(9) Å, b = 5.171(2) Å, c = 5.433(2) Å, and  = 120.93(4)°. Density-functional theory calculations supported the same crystal structure. Infrared spectra were also collected, and the vibrations associated with the different modes were discussed. The non-centrosymmetric space group determined for this new polymorph of LiZn(IO3)3, the characteristics of its infrared absorption spectrum, and the observed second-harmonic generation suggest it is a promising infrared non-linear optical material.
