In the title mol-ecular salt, C(8)H(13)N(2)O(+)·C(7)H(3)N(2)O(7) (-)·H(2)O, the pyrimidinium cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.009 (1) Å. The cation undergoes an enol-keto tautomerism during the crystallization. In the crystal, the ion pairs and water mol-ecules are connected via O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional networks parallel to the bc...

A corrected and improved structure of the polymorph II of 2C3H8NO3 (+)·C2O4 (2-)·2H2O, based on single-crystal data, is presented. The structure is refined with anisotropic displacement parameters for all non-H atoms and all H atoms are located. Due to the charged moieties, the structure is classified as a mol-ecular salt. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O(-), O-H⋯O and N(+)-H⋯O(-)hydrogen bonds link the c...

Solvent-free optical resolution of N-methylamphetamine was developed by distillation after partial diastereoisomeric salt formation. From the 18 chiral acids tested by this method, five provide by this method resolution: O,O'-dibenzoyltartaric acid, O,O'-di-p-toluoyltartaric acid, 6-methoxy-alpha-methyl-2-naphthaleneacetic acid (Naproxen), the cis-permetrinic acid, and the 2-phenoxypropionic ac...

In the title hydrated molecular salt, C22H18BrN4S(+)·Br(-)·H2O, the aromatic rings make dihedral angles of 14.20 (12), 34.29 (10) and 68.75 (11)° with the thia-zole ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into chains running parallel to the a axis by association of the bromide ions and the water mol-ecules of crystallization with the cations via N-H⋯O, O-H⋯Br, C-H⋯N and C-H⋯Br hydrogen-bond...

Ultrasound-assisted crystallization (sonocrystallization) was used to prepare a mixture of nano- and micrometer-sized crystals of the monoclinic form of paracetamol-a widely used analgesic known for its particularly problematic mechanical behavior under compression (i.e. poor tabletability). The nano- and micrometer-sized crystals yielded a powder which exhibits elastic moduli and bulk cohesion...

In the title hydrated double salt, 4,4'-(ethene-1,2-di-yl)dipyridin-1-ium hexa-aqua-iron(II) bis-(sulfate) monohydrate, (C12H12N2)[Fe(H2O)6](SO4)2·H2O, the Fe(II) cation is coordin-ated by six water mol-ecules in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry; the two pyridine rings of the 4,4'-(ethene-1,2-di-yl)dipyridin-1-ium cation are twisted to each other by a dihedral angle of 11.84 (10)°. In ...

Conjugated bile salt hydrolase (BSH) catalyses the hydrolysis of the amide bond that conjugates bile acids to glycine and to taurine. The BSH enzyme from Bifidobacterium longum was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), purified and crystallized. Crystallization conditions were screened using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Crystal growth, with two distinct morphologies, was opt...

To find out which render mortar mix shows the best durability properties, we have designed four ageing tests that aim to simulate water movements, ice formation and salt crystallization in lime mortars exposed to an extreme, but realistic, range of temperature and humidity. It has been found that the response of individual mortar mixes differs according to the mechanism and the agent of attack....

The anion of the title salt, C(6)H(9)N(2) (+)·C(6)H(4)NO(3) (-), undergoes an enol-to-keto tautomerism during the crystallization. In the crystal structure, the cation and anion are held together by a relatively short N-H⋯O hydrogen bond, and the two anions are further connected to each other by a pair of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with an R(2) (2)(8) ring motif, thus forming a centrosymmetric 2 + 2 ...

The title organic salt, C(8)H(8)N(3) (+)·Cl(-)·H(2)O, exhibits a rich hydrogen-bonding network involving all constituent species. The water mol-ecules are engaged in strong O-H⋯Cl inter-actions with the chloride anions, two neighboring protonated 2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridinium species inter-act via N-H⋯N bonds with two pyrazole rings. Further, a short and highly directional C-H⋯O inter-action is...
