Carboxylic acids, amides and imides are key organic systems which provide understanding of molecular recognition and binding phenomena important in biological and pharmaceutical settings. In this context, studies of their mutual interactions and compatibility through co-crystallization may pave the way for greater understanding and new applications of their combinations. Extensive co-crystalliz...

a new carboxylic acid extractant, named 2-(dibutylcarbamoyl)benzoic acid, is prepared and its potential for selective solvent extraction and recovery of lead ions from industrial samples was investigated. the slope analysis indicated that the lead ions are extracted by formation of 1:2 metal to ligand complexes. the effect of the parameters influencing the extraction efficiency including kind o...

The title compound, C(30)H(50)O(3), which was isolated from a marine endophytic fungus, is a new friedelan derivative. The mol-ecule contains five six-membered rings, which exhibit boat (ring A), distorted boat (ring B) and chair (rings C-E) conformations. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link neighbouring mol-ecules into 12-membered rings.
