The single crystals of a quaternary sulfide, BaFeAgS, have been synthesized by reacting elements at 873 K inside a sealed fused silica tube. The title phase is the first ordered quaternary compound of the Ba-Ag-Fe-S system. The crystal structure of BaFeAgS is characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study at 298(2) K.

The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies at 298(2) K showed that BaLnMnTe crystallize in the space group -C2/m of the monoclinic crystal system. There are six unique crystallographic sites in this structure's asymmetric unit: one Ba site, one Ln site, one Mn site, and three Te sites.

G-quadruplex-specific ligands that stabilize the G-quadruplex have great potential to be developed as anticancer agents. Two crystal structures (an apo form of parallel stranded human telomeric G-quadruplex and its holo form in complex with BRACO19, a potent G-quadruplex ligand) have been solved, yet the binding mechanism and pathway remain elusive.
