The title salt, C(10)H(7)N(2) (+)·HSO(4) (-), is formed by the transfer of a proton from H(2)SO(4) to the N atom of 2-cyano-quinoline during crystallization. The quinoline ring system is approximately planar with a maximum deviation of 0.013 (3) Å. In the crystal, the cations are linked to the anions via inter-molecular N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a layered network.

5-acetyl-6-methyl-4-aryl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones were synthesized in good to excellent by one-pot three-component Biginelli condensation in the presence of ammonium salt [Et3NH][HSO4] as an inexpensive and green catalyst under solvent-free conditions. High yields, short reaction time, easy work-up, a green environment which requires no toxic o...

The crystal structure of the title salt, C12H9N2 (+)·HSO4 (-)·H2O, comprises inversion-related pairs of phenazinium ions linked by C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The phenazinium N-H atoms are hydrogen bonded to the bis-ulfate anions. The bis-ulfate anions and water mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions into a structural ladder motif parallel to the a axis.

CRYSTALS OF THE HYDROGEN SULFATE SALT OF CHLORDIAZEPOXIDE (SYSTEMATIC NAME: 7-chloro-N-methyl-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-iminium 4-oxide hydrogen sulfate), C(16)H(15)ClN(3)O(+)·HSO(4) (-), were obtained from a solution of chlordiazepoxide and sulfuric acid in methanol. The structure features chlordiazepoxide mol-ecules that are protonated at the imine N atom. The seven-membered...

The microbial consortia from produced water at two different oil fields in Alaska (Kuparuk) and the North Sea (Ninian) were investigated for sulfate-reducing and methanogenic activity over a range of temperatures and for a variety of substrates. The consortia were sampled on site, and samples were either incubated on site at 60(deg)C with various substrates or frozen for later incubation and an...

Hydrogen gas (H2) may be produced by the anoxic corrosion of steel components in underground structures, such as geological repositories for radioactive waste. In such environments, hydrogen was shown to serve as an electron donor for autotrophic bacteria. High gas overpressures are to be avoided in radioactive waste repositories and, thus, microbial consumption of H2 is generally viewed as ben...

In the title compound, C(10)H(16)N(2) (2+)·2HSO(4) (-), the S atoms adopt slightly distorted tetra-hedral geometry and the diprotonated piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, the 1-phenyl-piperazine-1,4-diium cations are anchored between chains formed by the sulfate entities via inter-molecular bifurcated N-H⋯(O,O) and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds contri...

In the cation of the title compound, C(7)H(9)BrN(+)·HSO(4) (-), the amino N atom is protonated. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate an infinite two-dimensional network parallel to (001).
