In the heteromolecular title structure, C(10)H(8)N(2)S·C(8)H(6)O(4), the two components are linked by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds to form a one-dimensional chain. These chains are further inter-connected by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯π inter-actions to generate a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure.

Proton conductivity has been studied thoroughly in two isomeric In(III)-isophthalate based MOFs. In-IA-2D-1 is capable of showing proton conductivity (3.4 × 10(-3) S cm(-1)) under humidified conditions (98% RH), whereas In-IA-2D-2 can conduct protons (2.6 × 10(-5) S cm(-1)) under humidified as well as anhydrous conditions.

The title complex, [Cu(C(8)H(5)O(4))(NO(3))(C(18)H(10)N(4))(H(2)O)], was synthesized by reacting Cu(NO(3))(2), isophthalic acid and dipyridophenazine under hydro-thermal conditions. The Cu(II) ion is in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect complex mol-ecules into chains along [001].

In the title compound, C(13)H(9)NO(4), the two carb-oxy-lic groups and the benzene ring are approximately co-planar with a maximum atomic deviation 0.175 (4) Å, while the pyridine ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 31.07 (18)° with respect to the benzene ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular fr...

We report that N(2),N(6)-bis(4-nitrophenyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide, which is related to known isophthalic acid dianilides, transports Cl(-) ions through phospholipid bilayer membranes and shows clear evidence of channel activity.

A chemosensor compound (1) consisting of a central ferrocene with two butylaminomethyl arms showed unexpected facile electrochemical oxidation of the secondary amines in proximity to the ferrocene, which was utilized for electrochemical discrimination of phthalic acid selectively over two other isomers, isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid.
