Nimustine hydrochloride [systematic name: 4-amino-5-({[N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosocarbamoyl]amino}methyl)-2-methylpyrimidin-1-ium chloride], C9H14ClN6O2+·Cl−, is a prodrug of CENU (chloroethylnitrosourea) and is used as a cytostatic agent in cancer therapy. Its crystal structure was determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. The protonation at an N atom of the pyrimidine ring was established by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

The structure of 3,4-diaminopyridin-1-ium dihydrogen phosphate, [C5H3(NH)(NH2)2]+ (H2PO4)−, is solved from conventional X-ray powder diffraction data in direct space (monoclinic unit cell with a = 16.0725(9) Å, b = 7.7301(3) Å, c = 14.6189(9) Å, β = 96.869(1)°, V = 1803.2(2) Å3, Z = 8, and space group I2/c), and optimized by energy minimization in the solid state. In the crystal structure of the title compound, dihydrogenphosphate tetrahedra are linked by strong hydrogen O-H…O bonds forming chains running parallel to the b-axis. Antiparallelly π–π stacked DAP cations form molecular columns in the spaces between the chains. Although the dominant interaction of the molecules with their surroundings is electrostatic, their bonding are further enhanced by N-H…O and C-H…O hydrogen bonds.

A new non-stoichiometric calcium ruthenate [Ca4−xRuO6−x with x = 1.17(1)] was synthesized by the flux growth method and characterized by the X-ray powder diffraction. The crystal structure is isostructural to the K4CdCl6 type with space group R$\bar 3$c. Unit-cell parameters are a = 9.2881(1), c = 11.1634(2) Å, V = 834.03(3) Å3, and Z = 6.

Rubidium dicalcium triniobate(V), RbCa2Nb3O10, has been synthesized by solid-state reaction and its crystal structure refined from X-ray powder diffraction data using Rietveld analysis. The compound is a three-layer perovskite Dion–Jacobson phase with the perovskite-like slabs derived by termination of the three-dimensional CaNbO3perovskite structure along theabplane. The rubidium ions (4/mmmsymmetry) are located in the interstitial space.
