Pyrimidines are important compounds in biology and medicine, and the aminopyrimidine fragment can be identified in three of the four bases in DNA. The targeted drug action of pharmaceuticals containing this functionality is likely to depend heavily on molecular recognition processes involving hydrogen bonding. Crystallization of an equimolar mixture of 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine and 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid yielded two forms of the 1:1 salt, CHClN·CHClO, each containing a different tautomeric form of the cation.

The design of a pharmaceutical cocrystal is based on the identification of specific hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor groups in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in order to choose a `complementary interacting' molecule that can act as an efficient coformer. 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) is a pyrimidine derivative with two N-H donors and C=O acceptors and shows a diversity of hydrogen-bonding motifs. Two 1:1 cocrystals of 5-fluorouracil (5FU), namely 5-fluorouracil-4-methylbenzoic acid (5FU-MBA), CHFNO·CHO, (I), and 5-fluorouracil-3-nitrobenzoic acid (5FU-NBA), CHFNO·CHNO, (II), have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Bio-inspired surfaces that exhibit high contact angle and low contact angle hysteresis for various liquids and demonstrate mechanical durability and anti-smudge properties are of interest for various applications. The fabrication of such surfaces has often involved complex or expensive processes, required techniques that may not be suitable for various substrates and particles, may require surface post-treatment, or may lack durability. Dual layered coatings of roughness-induced superomniphobic surfaces that demonstrate good mechanical durability were fabricated on glass substrates using hydrophobic SiO2 nanoparticles and low surface energy fluorobinders using dip coating and spray coating techniques.
