Spectroscopic characterization and crystal structures of two cathinone derivatives: 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-pentan-1-one (4-chloro-α-PVP) sulfate and 1-(4-methylphenyl)-2-(dimethylamino)-propan-1-one (4-MDMC) hydrochloride salts, seized on illicit drug market.

We could identify 4-chloro-α-PVP and 4-MDMC in the seizure powder samples by various analytical methods. X-ray crystallography was especially useful for identifying the salted forms and enantiomeric forms.
