In the present study, ciprofloxacin-salicylic acid molecular salt has been synthesized and preliminarily characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy. The single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) reveals the proton transfer from carboxylic acid group of salicylic acid to piperazine moiety in ciprofloxacin confirming the formation of new molecular salt. The molecular packing of the molecular salt is mainly supported by N+–H⋯O−, O–H⋯O, C–H⋯F, C–H⋯π, and π-π interactions. The 3D Hirshfeld surfaces and the associated 2D fingerprint plots were investigated for intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions.

Ultrasound promoted mild one-pot multicomponent synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrano[c]chromenes from 4-hydroxycoumarin, arylaldehydes and malononitrile was achieved in aqueous media. The methodology promises advantages of short reaction times, environmentally benign conditions, high yields, and operational convenience.
