Single crystals of dicerium trialuminium tetragermanide, CeAlGe, have been synthesized from a high-temperature reaction using an eutectic mixture of Al and Ge as a metal flux. Through single-crystal X-ray diffraction it was established that CeAlGe crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group Cmce (No. 64) with the BaCdBi structure type (Pearson code oC36). Five atoms compose the asymmetric unit, i.e. one Ce, two Al, and two Ge atoms, all in special positions with Wyckoff symbols 8f (Ce), 4a and 8e (Al), and 8e and 8f (Ge). The structure can be described as a three-dimensional network of Al and Ge atoms, with Ce atoms occupying the cavities of the framework.

A chemical investigation of the soil-derived fungus sp. XZ8 led to the isolation of five new indole alkaloids, trichindoles A-E (-), with diverse architectures, along with seven known analogues (-). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data analysis, and their absolute configurations were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and modified Mosher's method.

O-Methyldehydroserine, ΔSer(Me), is a non-standard α,β-dehydroamino acid, which occurs naturally in Cyrmenins with potential pharmaceutical application. The C-terminal part and the side chain of the ΔSer(Me) residue constitute the β-methoxyacrylate unit, responsible for antifungal activity of Cyrmenins. The short model, Ac-ΔSer(Me)-OMe, was analyzed considering the geometrical isomer Z () and E ().

A series of luminescent bis-cyclometalated iridium complexes with 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (tpy), [Ir()(tpy)]PF ( = 2-phenylpyridinate (ppy) for ; benzo[h]quinolinate (bzq) for ; 1-phenylisoquinolinate (piq) for ; and 2-phenylbenzothiazolate (pbt) for ), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the tpy ligands of - are coordinated to the iridium center in a bidentate fashion, and the uncoordinated pendant pyridine rings in the tpy ligands of - form intramolecular π-π stacking interactions with a phenyl moiety of ligands. In addition, the pendant pyridine ring in the tpy ligand of forms an intramolecular hydrogen bonding interaction, unlike in -.

We report the synthesis and characterization of new, user-friendly gold(I) [Au(μ-(NH)CCF)] coordination polymer and [AuCl(NH(NH=)CCF)] complex. These compounds were investigated for potential application as precursors in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and focused electron/ion beam-induced deposition (FEBID/FIBID), which are additive methods to produce nanomaterials. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and infrared spectroscopy were used to determine the complexes' composition and structure.

Azulene-1,3-bis(semicarbazone), , and azulene-1,3-bis(thiosemicarbazone), , were synthesized by the acid-catalyzed condensation reactions of semicarbazide and thiosemicarbazide, respectively, with azulene-1,3-dicarboxaldehyde in stoichiometric amounts. Compounds and were identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry and characterized by IR, H-NMR, C-NMR, and UV-vis spectroscopic techniques. Crystal structure determination of azulene-1,3-bis(thiosemicarbazone) shows that the thiosemicarbazone units exhibit a -closed conformation, with both arms oriented in the same direction and adopting an configuration with respect to the imine linkages.
