In the present study, amorphous form of cefuroxime axetil was prepared and characterized by various methods. The result showed that the amorphous form of cefuroxime axetil with hydrophilic carriers was successfully obtained by freeze drying. The amorphous form showed a substantially higher dissolution rate and saturation solubility than cefuroxime axetil and physical mixture. The molecular behaviour of the drug in all samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The dissolution and saturation solubility studies of the samples were performed. The X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry provided useful information to support the amorphousness of the samples.

The reactions of potassium polysulfides with elemental Nb were investigated with different analytical techniques. The amount of the polysulfide applied has no influence onto product formation, i. e. the ratio K2Sx: Nb is not important. The length of the polsysulfide chain, i. e. the value of x in K2Sx determines what product is formed. In sulfur-poor melts, K3NbS4 is observed. Increasing x to 5 - 6, K4Nb2S11 is formed with a structure containing S22− anions. Finally, applying a melt with x > 6, K6Nb4S25 is found as the product with a crystal structure containing the S52− polysulfide anion. When K2Sx (x < 5) is heated with sulfur in the first step the pentasulfide K2S5 is formed. Immediately after melting of K2S5 a reaction with elemental Nb occurs. The results of FT-IR and X-ray investigations have demonstrated that after oxidation the anion [Nb2S11]4− is formed relatively fast, and after a short time crystalline K4Nb2S11 can be detected. After 24 h the reaction is complete.

The 2-methoxycinnamylidenepyruvic acid (2-MeO-HCP) was synthesized and characterized for nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H and 13C NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The application of DSC for purity determination is well documented in literature and is used in the analysis of pure organic compounds. The molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies of 2-MeO-HCP have been calculated.

The synthesis of Ru2(μ-O2CR)4(μ´-O2CR) (1), R = -CH2(CH2)6CH=CH(CH2)5CH3, has been achieved and characterization using elemental analysis and FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopies undertaken. Strong evidence for a hexagonal discotic mesophase has been found using differential scanning calorimetry, variable-temperature polarizing optical microscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction. A solid to liquid crystal transition was found upon heating at 128°C and the mesophase is found to persist to room temperature upon cooling from 150°C. This is the first report of room temperature mesomorphism in a mixed-valent metallomesogen. Key words: ruthenium carboxylate, liquid crystal, metallomesogen, mixed valence, polymer.

The presence of impurities can drastically affect the efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical entities. p-Aminophenol (PAP) is one of the main impurities of paracetamol (PA) that can potentially show toxic effects such as maternal toxicity and nephrotoxicity. The removal of PAP from PA is challenging and difficult to achieve through regular crystallization approaches. In this regard, we report four new salts of PAP with salicylic acid (SA), oxalic acid (OX), l-tartaric acid (TA), and (1S)-(+)-10-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA). All the PAP salts were analyzed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The presence of minute amounts of PAP in paracetamol solids gives a dark color to the product that was difficult to remove through crystallization. In our study, we found that the addition of small quantities of the aforementioned acids helps to remove PAP from PA during the filtration and washings. This shows that salt formation could be used to efficiently remove challenging impurities.

The polymorphism of 1,3-dimethyladamantane (13DMA), 1,3-adamantanediol (13DOHA) and 1,3-dibromoadamantane (13DBrA) has been studied by X-ray powder diffraction, density measurements and differential scanning calorimetry at normal and high-pressure.
