Five new uranyl arsenates, Na14[(UO2)5(AsO4)8]·2H2O (1), K6[(UO2)5O5(AsO4)2] (2a), K4[(UO2)3O2(AsO4)2] (2b), Rb4[(UO2)3O2(AsO4)2] (3), and Cs6[(UO2)5O2(AsO4)4] (4), were synthesized by high-temperature, high-pressure hydrothermal reactions at about 560 °C and 1440 bar and were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Crystal data for compound 1: triclinic, P1, a = 7.0005(3) Å, b = 12.1324(4) Å, c = 13.7428(5) Å, α = 64.175(2)°, β = 89.092(2)°, γ = 85.548(2)°, V = 1047.26(7) Å(3), Z = 1, R1 = 0.0185; compound 2a: monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 6.8615(3) Å, b = 24.702(1) Å, c = 7.1269(3) Å, β = 98.749(2)°, V = 1193.89(9) Å(3), Z = 2, R1 = 0.0225; compound 2b: monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 6.7852(3) Å, b = 17.3640(8) Å, c = 7.1151(3) Å, β = 98.801(3)°, V = 828.42(6) Å(3), Z = 2, R1 = 0.0269; compound 3: monoclinic, P2₁/m, a = 6.9783(3) Å, b = 17.4513(8) Å, c = 7.0867(3) Å, β = 90.808(3)°, V = 862.94(7) Å(3), Z = 2, R1 = 0.0269; compound 4: triclinic, P1, a = 7.7628(3) Å, b = 9.3324(4) Å, c = 11.9336(4) Å, α = 75.611(2)°, β = 73.136(2)°, γ = 86.329(2)°, V = 801.37(5) Å(3), Z = 1, R1 = 0.0336. The five compounds have layer structures consisting of uranyl square, pentagonal, and hexagonal bipyramids as well as AsO4 tetrahedra. Compound 1 contains chains of discrete uranyl square and pentagonal bipyramids, 2a contains three-polyhedron-wide ribbons of edge- and corner-sharing uranyl square and pentagonal bipyramids, 2b and 3 contain dimers of edge-shairing pentagonal bipyramids that share edges with hexagonal bipyramids to form chains, and 4 contains one-polyhedron-wide zigzag chains of edge-sharing uranyl polyhedra. The double sheet structure of 1 is new, but the chain topology has been observed in an organically templated uranyl sulfate. Compound 2b is a new geometrical isomer of the phosphuranylite group. The sheet anion topologies of 2a and 4 can be obtained by splitting the β-U3O8-type sheet into complex chains and connecting the chains by arsenates.

Reductive phosphatization is an original synthesis approach to the formation of transition metal phosphates (TMPs). The approach enables the synthesis of known TMPs, but also new compounds, especially with transition metals in a low-valent state. However, to exploit the enormous potential of this synthesis method, it is necessary to identify and characterize all of the potential intermediates and final synthesis products.

(Z)-3-butylamino-4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)but-2-en-1-one (1), a new β-aminoenone, has been investigated in terms of its intra- and intermolecular interactions. Vibrational, electronic and NMR spectroscopies were used for the characterization, while X-ray diffraction methods afforded the determination of the crystal structure. The compound is arranged in the crystal lattice as centre-symmetric H-bonded dimeric aggregates (C2/c monoclinic space group).

Acyl fluorides and acyl cations represent typical reactive intermediates in organic reactions, such as Friedel-Crafts acylation. However, the comparatively stable phenyl-substituted compounds have not been fully characterized yet, offering a promising backbone. Attempts to isolate the benzoacylium cation have only been carried out starting from the acyl chloride with weaker chloride-based Lewis acids.

The efficacy of available treatments for melanoma is limited by side effects and the rapidly emerging resistance to treatment. In this context, the decavanadate compounds represent promising tools to design efficient therapeutic agents. In our study, we synthesized a dimagnesium disodium decavanadate icosahydrate compound (MgNaVO·20HO) and investigated its structure stability as well as its antimelanoma effects.

In this work, we present the synthesis, solid-state characterization, and studies of two pyrazole derivatives: 5-(2-methylphenoxy)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (I) and 5-(4-methylphenoxy)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (II). The molecular crystal properties, in terms of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and other weak interactions, are analyzed using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Hirshfeld surfaces computational method is used to quantify the intermolecular interactions, density functional theory for theoretical structural optimization, and its comparison with the experimental structure and studies using docking and molecular dynamics studies of I and II with CDC7-kinase.
