The coordination geometry of the metal centers is best described as a flat isosceles trapezoid with a cis arrangement of the donor atoms.

Crystallization of the title compound from CH2Cl2/n-pentane (1:5 v/v) at room temperature gave two polymorphs, which crystallize in monoclinic (P21/c; α form) and ortho­rhom­bic (Pna21; β form) space groups. The ReI complex mol­ecules in either polymorph adopt a six-coordinate octa­hedral geometry with three facially-oriented carbonyl ligands, one bromido ligand, and two nitro­gen atoms from one chelating ligand ppt-OMe.

In the title compound, C8H9BrN2O2, the C—O—C—C torsion angle between isonicotine and the ethyl group is 180.0 (2)°. Intramolecular N—H...O and C—H...O interactions consolidate the molecular structure. In the crystal, N—H...N interaction form S(5) zigzag chains along [010]. The most significant contributions to the Hirshfeld surface arise from H...H (33.2%), Br...H/H...Br (20.9%), O...H/H...O (11.2%), C...H/H...C (11.1%) and N...H/H...N (10%) contacts. The topology of the three-dimensional energy frameworks was generated using the B3LYP/6–31 G(d,p) model to calculate the total interaction energy. The net interaction energies for the title compound are Eele = 59.2 kJ mol−1, Epol = 15.5 kJ mol−1, Edis = 140.3 kJ mol−1 and Erep = 107.2 kJ mol−1 with a total interaction energy Etot of 128.8 kJ mol−1. The molecular structure was optimized by density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6–311+G(d,p) level and the theoretical and experimentally obtained parameters were compared. The frontier molecular orbitals HOMO and LUMO were generated, giving an energy gap ΔE of 4.0931 eV. The MEP was generated to identify active sites in the molecule and molecular docking studies carried out with the title compound (ligand) and the covid-19 main protease PDB ID: 6LU7, revealing a moderate binding affinity of −5.4 kcal mol−1.

The etoxazole metabolite R13, systematic name 4-(4-tert-butyl-2-ethoxyphenyl)-2-(2,6-difluorophenyl)oxazole (C21H21F2NO2), results from the oxidation of etoxazole, a chitin synthesis inhibitor belonging to the oxazoline class, widely used as an insecticide/acaricide since 1998. The structure of R13 features a central oxazole ring with attached 2,6-difluorophenyl and 4-t-butyl-2-ethoxyphenyl moieties. The overall conformation gives dihedral angles between these rings and the oxazole of 24.91 (5)° (with difluorophenyl) and 15.30 (6)° (with t-butyl-ethoxyphenyl), indicating an overall deviation from planarity. Additionally, torsion angles of the ethoxy and t-butyl groups define the orientation of these substituents relative to their benzene ring. In the crystal packing, no significant hydrogen bonds are present, but a Hirshfeld surface analysis highlights weak intermolecular contacts leading to π–π-stacked dimers linked by weak C—H...N contacts. The packing analysis confirms that most intermolecular interactions involve hydrogen atoms.

Reaction between equimolar amounts of 3,3,3',3'-tetraethyl-1,1'-(furan-2,5-dicarbonyl)bis(thiourea) (H2L) and CuCl2·2H2O in methanol in the presence of the supporting base Et3N gave rise to a neutral dinuclear complex bis[μ-3,3,3',3'-tetraethyl-1,1'-(furan-2,5-dicarbonyl)bis(thioureato)]dicopper(II) dichloromethane disolvate, [Cu2(C16H22N4O3S2)2]·2CH2Cl2 or [Cu2(L)2]·2CH2Cl2. The aroylbis(thioureas) are doubly deprotonated and the resulting anions {L2–} bond to metal ions through (S,O)-chelating moieties. The copper atoms adopt a virtually cis-square-planar environment. In the crystal, adjacent [Cu2(L)2]·2CH2Cl2 units are linked into polymeric chains along the a-axis direction by intermolecular coordinative Cu...S interactions. The co-crystallized solvent molecules play a vital role in the crystal packing. In particular, weak C—Hfuran...Cl and C—Hethyl...Cl contacts consolidate the three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.

The title compound, [Ni(C40H30N2O2)] (1), with an optically active Schiff base ligand derived from 2-hydroxybenzophenone and (1S,2S)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine, was crystallized as the solvent-free and ethanol solvate forms (1 and 1·2C2H5OH). In both structures, the two phenyl groups on the stereogenic centers of the O,N,N,O-tetradentate ligand are axially oriented, and the conformation of the central diamine chelate ring is λ. The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of 1 and the analogous nickel(II) complex [Ni(C30H26N2O2)] (2) in solution show partially similar patterns in the 350–450 nm range, but are mirror images in the longer wavelength region (450–650 nm). In the latter region, the sign of CD for these complexes is sensitive to the substituents on the C=N carbon atoms (phenyl for 1 and methyl for 2) rather than the diamine chelate ring conformation.

The title compound, [RuCl2(C25H22P2)2] or [RuCl2(dppm)2] (dppm = bis­(di­phenyl­phosphan­yl)methane, C25H22P2) crystallizes as two half-mol­ecules (completed by inversion symmetry) in space group Poverline{1} (Z = 2), with the RuII atoms occupying inversion centers at 0,0,0 and 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, respectively. The bidentate phosphane ligands occupy equatorial positions while the chlorido ligands complete the distorted octa­hedral coordination spheres at axial positions. The bite angles of the phosphane chelates are similar for the two mol­ecules [(P—Ru—P)avg. = 71.1°], while there are significant differences in the twisting of the methyl­ene backbone, with a distance of the methyl­ene C atom from the RuP4 plane of 0.659 (2) and 0.299 (3) Å, respectively, and also for the phenyl substituents for both mol­ecules due to variations in weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions.

The title compound, C16H13FN2O2, was synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of the indazole N—H hydrogen atom of methyl 1H-indazole-3-carboxyl­ate with 1-(bromo­meth­yl)-4-fluoro­benzene. In the crystal, some hydrogen-bond-like inter­actions are observed.

In the title mol­ecule, C21H15N3OS, the C5=C6 double bond in the central enone group adopts a trans configuration. The dihedral angle between planes of the thia­zole and pyrazole rings is 6.6 (2)°. In the crystal, pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate inversion dimers and another pair of C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the dimers into chains propagating along a-axis direction.

A second crystalline modification of the title compound, C12H19N3S [common name: cis-jasmone thio­semicarbazone] was crystallized from tetra­hydro­furane at room temperature. There is one crystallographic independent mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit, showing disorder in the cis-jasmone chain [site-occupancy ratio = 0.590 (14):0.410 (14)]. The thio­semicarbazone entity is approximately planar, with the maximum deviation from the mean plane through the N/N/C/S/N atoms being 0.0463 (14) Å [r.m.s.d. = 0.0324 Å], while for the five-membered ring of the jasmone fragment, the maximum deviation from the mean plane through the carbon atoms amounts to 0.0465 (15) Å [r.m.s.d. = 0.0338 Å]. The mol­ecule is not planar due to the dihedral angle between these two fragments, which is 8.93 (1)°, and due to the sp3-hybridized carbon atoms in the jasmone fragment chain. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected by N—H⋯S and C—H⋯S inter­actions, with graph-set motifs R22(8) and R21(7), building mono-periodic hydrogen-bonded ribbons along [010]. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal cohesion are H⋯H (67.8%), H⋯S/S⋯H (15.0%), H⋯C/C⋯H (8.5%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (5.6%) [only non-disordered atoms and those with the highest s.o.f. were considered]. This work reports the second crystalline modification of the cis-jasmone thio­semicarbazone structure, the first one being published recently [Orsoni et al. (2020). Int. J. Mol. Sci. 21, 8681–8697] with the crystals obtained in ethanol at 273 K.

The reaction between a racemic mixture of (R,S)-fixolide and 4-methyl­thio­semicarbazide in ethanol with a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio and catalysed with HCl, yielded the title compound, C20H31N3S [common name: (R,S)-fixolide 4-methyl­thio­semicarbazone]. There is one crystallographically independent mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit, which is disordered over the aliphatic ring [site-occupancy ratio = 0.667 (13):0.333 (13)]. The disorder includes the chiral C atom, the neighbouring methyl­ene group and the methyl H atoms of the methyl group bonded to the chiral C atom. The maximum deviations from the mean plane through the disordered aliphatic ring amount to 0.328 (6) and −0.334 (6) Å [r.m.s.d. = 0.2061 Å], and −0.3677 (12) and 0.3380 (12) Å [r.m.s.d. = 0.2198 Å] for the two different sites. Both fragments show a half-chair conformation. Additionally, the N—N—C(=S)—N entity is approximately planar, with the maximum deviation from the mean plane through the selected atoms being 0.0135 (18) Å [r.m.s.d. = 0.0100 Å]. The mol­ecule is not planar due to the dihedral angle between the thio­semicarbazone entity and the aromatic ring, which amounts to 51.8 (1)°, and due to the sp3-hybridized carbon atoms of the fixolide fragment. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected by H⋯S inter­actions with graph-set motif C(4), forming a mono-periodic hydrogen-bonded ribbon along [100]. The Hirshfeld surface analysis suggests that the major contributions for the crystal cohesion are [(R,S)-isomers considered separately] H⋯H (75.7%), H⋯S/S⋯H (11.6%), H⋯C/C⋯H (8.3% and H⋯N/N⋯H (4.4% for both of them).

The reaction of ethane-1,2-di­amine (en, C2H8N2), the sodium salt of naphthalene-1,5-di­sulfonic acid (H2NDS, C10H8O6S2), and nickel sulfate in an aqueous solution resulted in the formation of the title salt, [Ni(C2H8N2)(H2O)4](C10H6O6S2)·2H2O or [Ni(en)(H2O)4](NDS)·2H2O. In the asymmetric unit, one half of an [Ni(en)(H2O)4]2+ cation and one half of an NDS2− anion, and one water mol­ecule of crystallization are present. The Ni2+ cation in the complex is positioned on a twofold rotation axis and exhibits a slight tetra­gonal distortion of the cis-NiO4N2 octa­hedron, with an Ni—N bond length of 2.0782 (16) Å, and Ni—O bond lengths of 2.1170 (13) Å and 2.0648 (14) Å. The anion is completed by inversion symmetry. In the extended structure, the cations, anions, and non-coordinating water mol­ecules are connected by inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, as well as C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional network.

Three B2-type inter­metallic AlFe1 – δ phases (0.18 < δ < 0.05) in the Al–Fe binary system were synthesized by smelting and high temperature sinter­ing methods. The exact crystal structure for δ = 0.05 was refined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The amount of vacancy defects at the Fe atom sites was obtained by refining the corresponding site occupancy factor, converging to the chemical formula AlFe0.95, with a structure identical to that of ideal AlFe models inferred from powder X-ray or neutron diffraction patterns.

The structure of the title compound, C9H10OTe, at 100 K has ortho­rhom­bic (P21212) symmetry with two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit (Z' = 2). The mol­ecules are folded along their Te⋯O axes, with their Te–C–O planes angled at an average of 25.1° with respect to the remaining non-H atoms, which are almost coplanar (average deviation from planarity = 0.04 Å). A Hirshfeld plot shows weak inter­molecular inter­actions between the two Te atoms located in each asymmetric mol­ecule, with a Te⋯Te distance of 3.7191 (4) Å. The structure is strongly pseudosymmetric to the space group Pccn with Z' = 1. The crystal chosen for data collection was found to be was an inversion twin.

The mol­ecular structure of the solvated title salt, (C21H25N2)2[Fe2(C14H10S2)4]·2C3H7NO reveals that the anion is situated on a crystallographic inversion center in the triclinic space group Poverline{1}. The title compound crystallizes utilizing a network of weak π-stacking inter­actions of phenyl rings pertaining to the di­thiol­ene unit. Moreover, the acidic imidazolium H atoms [N—C(H)—N] display non-classical hydrogen-bonding inter­actions of the C—H⋯O type to the oxygen atoms of the N,N-dimethyl formamide solvent, and hydrogen atoms on the backbone of imidazolium rings display weak C—H⋯S inter­actions with the di­thiol­ene sulfur atoms.

The structure of the title solvated porphyrin, C56H38N8O2·C6H14, is reported. Two porphyrin mol­ecules, one ordered and one disordered n-hexane solvate mol­ecules are present in its asymmetric unit. The porphyrin macrocycle shows a characteristic saddle-shaped distortion, and the maximum deviation from the mean plane for non-hydrogen atoms is 0.48 Å. N—H⋯N, N—H⋯O, and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, as well as π–π inter­actions, are observed in the crystal structure.

The title compound (systematic name: rac-2-hydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid), C5H10O3, is the constitutional isomer of α-hy­droxy­butanoic acid. In the crystal, hydrogen bonds involving the alcoholic hydroxyl group give rise to centrosymmetric dimers that are extended to sheets perpendicular to the crystallographic c axis.

In the paper by Oliveira et al. [IUCrData (2023), 8, x230971], there was an error in the name of the first author.

The equimolar and hydro­chloric acid-catalysed reaction between cis-jasmone and 4-methyl­thio­semicarbazide in ethano­lic solution yields the title compound, C13H21N3S (common name: cis-jasmone 4-methyl­thio­semicarbazone). Two mol­ecules with all atoms in general positions are present in the asymmetric unit. In one of them, the carbon chain is disordered [site occupancy ratio = 0.821 (3):0.179 (3)]. The thio­semicarbazone entities [N—N—C(=S)—N] are approximately planar, with the maximum deviation from the mean plane through the selected atoms being −0.0115 (16) Å (r.m.s.d. = 0.0078 Å) for the non-disordered mol­ecule and 0.0052 (14) Å (r.m.s.d. = 0.0031 Å) for the disordered one. The mol­ecules are not planar, since the jasmone groups have a chain with sp3-hybridized carbon atoms and, in addition, the thio­semicarbazone fragments are attached to the respective carbon five-membered rings and the dihedral angles between them for each mol­ecule amount to 8.9 (1) and 6.3 (1)°. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected through pairs of N—H⋯S and C—H⋯S inter­actions into crystallographically independent centrosymmetric dimers, in which rings of graph-set motifs R22(8) and R21(7) are observed. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal cohesion are from H⋯H (70.6%), H⋯S/S⋯H (16.7%), H⋯C/C⋯H (7.5%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (4.9%) inter­actions [considering the two crystallographically independent mol­ecules and only the disordered atoms with the highest s.o.f. for the evaluation].

The title complex, [PdCl2(C9H13N)2], comprises a single mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The PdII atom is tetra­coordinated by two N atoms from two trans-aligned organic ligands and two Cl ligands, forming a square-planar metal coordination environment. The distances from the ortho-H atoms on the phenyl ring to the central PdII atom fall within the range 4.70–5.30 Å, precluding any significant intra­molecular Pd⋯H inter­actions.

In the title complex, [ZnCl2(C14H12N2O2)], the ZnII atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is fourfold coordinated by two chlorido ligands and a bidentate 4,7-meth­oxy-1,10-phenanthroline ligand in a distorted tetra­hedral environment. Weak π–π stacking inter­actions between adjacent 4,7-dimeth­oxy-1,10-phenanthroline rings [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.5969 (11) and 3.7738 (11) Å] contribute to the alignment of the complexes in layers parallel to (overline{2}01).

In the title compound, 2C7H7N2O+·C2O42−, proton transfer from oxalic acid to the N atom of the heterocycle has occurred to form a 2:1 molecular salt. In the extended structure, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into [100] chains, which feature R22(8) and R44(14) loops.

The manganese title complex, [Mn(C7H5N2O4)2(C7H6N2O4)2(H2O)2]·2H2O, is one of the first 4-amino 3-nitro­benzoic acid (4 A3NBA) monoligand metal complexes to be synthesized. It crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21/n with the complex mol­ecules located on inversion centers. Four 4 A3NBA ligand mol­ecules are monodentately coordinated by the Mn2+ ion through the carb­oxy­lic oxygen atoms while the other two positions of the inner coordination sphere are occupied by water mol­ecules, giving rise to a distorted octa­hedron, and two water mol­ecules are in the outer coordination sphere. There are two intra­molecular hydrogen bonds in the complex mol­ecule. The first is of the common N—H⋯O=N type, while the second is a rarely occurring very strong hydrogen bond in which a common proton is shared by two uncoordinated oxygen atoms of neighboring carboxyl­ate groups. In the crystal, an intricate system of inter­molecular hydrogen bonds links the complex mol­ecules into a three-dimensional-network.

Single crystals of the inter­metallic phase with composition Ti4Ni2C were serendipitously obtained by high-pressure sinter­ing of a mixture with initial chemical composition Ti2Ni. The Ti4Ni2C phase crystallizes in the Fdoverline{3}m space group and can be considered as a partially filled Ti2Ni structure with the C atom occupying an octa­hedral void. Ti4Ni2C is isotypic with Ti4Ni2O, Nb4Ni2C and Ta4Ni2C, all of which were studied previously by means of powder diffraction.

A new square-planar palladium complex salt hydrate, (C9H12NO)2[PdCl4]·0.5H2O, has been characterized. The asymmetric unit of the complex salt comprises two [PdCl4]2− dianions, four 2-hy­droxy-2,3-di­hydro-1H-inden-1-aminium cations, each derived from (1R,2S)-(+)-1-amino­indan-2-ol, and one water mol­ecule of crystallization. In the crystal, a two-dimensional layer parallel to (001) features a number of O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O, O—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.

In the title triazole-based N-heterocyclic carbene rhodium(I) cationic complex with a tetra­fluorido­borate counter-anion, [Rh(C8H12)(C8H15N3)(C18H15P)]BF4, which crystallizes with two cations and two anions in the asymmetric unit, the Rh center has a distorted square-planar coordination geometry with expected bond distances. Several nonclassical C—H⋯F hydrogen-bonding inter­actions help to consolidate the packing. Two of the F atoms of one of the anions are disordered over adjacent sites in a 0.814 (4):0.186 (4) ratio.

In the title complex, [Ni(C19H13N5)2](CF3SO3)2·(CH3CH2)2O, the central NiII atom is sixfold coordinated by three nitro­gen atoms of each 2,6-bis­(2-benzimidazol­yl)pyridine ligand in a distorted octa­hedral geometry with two tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate ions and a mol­ecule of diethyl ether completing the outer coordination sphere of the complex. Hydrogen bonding contributes to the organization of the asymmetric units in columns along the a axis generating a porous supra­molecular structure. The structure was refined as a two-component twin with a refined BASF value of 0.4104 (13).

In the title complex salt, [Pd(C10H8N2)(C12H12N2O2)](CF3SO3)2, the palladium(II) atom is fourfold coordinated by two chelating ligands, 2,2'-bi­pyridine and 4,4'-dimeth­oxy-2,2'-bi­pyridine, in a distorted square-planar environment. In the crystal, weak π–π stacking inter­actions between the 2,2'-bi­pyridine rings [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.8984 (19) Å] and between the 4,4'-dimeth­oxy-2,2'-bi­pyridine rings [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.747 (18) Å] contribute to the alignment of the complex cations in columns parallel to the b-axis direction.

In the title complex, [Ru(C10H8N2)2(C6H6N2O)(H2O)](CF3SO3)2, the central RuII atom is sixfold coordinated by two bidentate 2,2'-bi­pyridine, an isonic­otinamide ligand, and a water mol­ecule in a distorted octa­hedral environment with tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate ions completing the outer coordination sphere of the complex. Hydrogen bonding involving the water mol­ecule and weak π–π stacking inter­actions between the pyridyl rings in adjacent mol­ecules contribute to the alignment of the complexes in columns parallel to the c axis.

The structure of the title complex, [Zn2(C2H3O2)4(C11H9N3O)2], is triclinic containing half of the mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. Each zinc atom is coordinated to a pyridyl and oxime nitro­gen from one di-2-pyridyl ketone oxime (dpko) ligand and a third nitro­gen from the other dpko pyridyl ring. Additionally, each zinc is coordinated to two acetato anions, one of which is bidentate and the other monodentate. The uncoordinated oxygen of the monodentate acetato group is involved in a hydrogen bond with the oxime hydrogen. The packing in the crystal is assisted by weak C—H⋯O inter­actions between acetato groups and neighboring pyridyl rings.

The title pyrene-fused spiro­pyran derivative, C30H25NO, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit with dihedral angles between their fused-ring sub units of 76.20 (8) and 89.38 (9)°. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯π inter­actions link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network.

The title compound, C14H12O4, comprises of two crystallographically independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, linked via C—H⋯O inter­actions to form dimeric entities. The allylic groups are twisted out of the phenyl planes with dihedral angles varying between 7.92 (13) and 25.42 (8)°. In the crystal, the packing follows a zigzag pattern along the c-axis direction. The absolute configuration of the sample could not be determined reliably.

Neodymium(III) ortho-oxidotungstate(VI) was synthesized as a side-product in an unsuccessful synthesis attempt at fluoride derivatives of neodymium tungstate in fused silica ampoules, using neodymium(III) oxide, neodymium(III) fluoride and tungsten trioxide. Violet, platelet-shaped single crystals of the title compound emerged of the bulk, which crystallize in the defect scheelite type with a trigonal dodeca­hedral coordination of oxide anions around the Nd3+ cations and the hexa­valent tungsten cations situated in the centers of oxide tetra­hedra.

The title compound, C16H17BrO2S, crystallizes as the erythro (RR/SS) isomer of a pair of sulfones that were diastereomeric due to chirality of the α-carbon atoms on the sulfone sulfur atom. The structural analysis was pivotal in showing that the 1,3 elimination reactions of these compounds, which lead to substituted stilbenes, occur with inversion at each asymmetric carbon atom. In the crystal, C—H⋯Br and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into a tri-periodic inter­molecular network.

The central NiII atom in the title complex, [Ni(C13H25N2S2)2], is located on an inversion center and adopts a roughly square-planar coordination environment defined by two chelating N,S donor sets of two symmetry-related ligands in a trans configuration. The Ni—N and Ni—S bond lenghts are 1.9193 (14) and 2.1788 (5) Å, respectively, with a chelating N—Ni—S bond angle of 86.05 (4)°. These data are compared with those measured for similar di­thio­carbazato ligands that bear n-octyl or n-hexyl alkyl chains. Slight differences are observed with respect to the phenyl­ethyl­idene derivative where the ligands are bound cis relative to one another.

The structure of the title compound, [RuCl2(C7H10N2)2(C2H6OS)2], has monoclinic (P21/n) symmetry. The Ru—N distances of the coordination compound are influenced by the trans chloride or di­methyl­sulfoxide-κS ligands. The mol­ecular structure exhibits disorder for two of the terminal methyl groups of a dimethyl sulfoxide ligand.

The title compound, C13H10FNO2, was obtained by the reaction of 2-bromo-4-fluoro­benzoic acid with aniline. There are two independent mol­ecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit, with slight conformational differences: the dihedral angles between the aromatic rings are 55.63 (5) and 52.65 (5)°. Both mol­ecules feature an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by pairwise O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form A–B acid–acid dimers and weak C—H⋯F inter­actions further connect the dimers.

The title compound, C13H10BrNO2, was obtained by the reaction of 2,5-di­bromo­benzoic acid and aniline. The mol­ecule is twisted with a dihedral angle between the aromatic rings of 45.74 (11)° and an intr­amolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond is seen. In the crystal, pairwise O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate carb­oxy­lic acid inversion dimers.

In the title compound, C26H18BrN, the dihedral angles between the anthracene ring system and the phenyl rings are 89.51 (14) and 74.03 (15)°. In the extended structure, a weak C—H⋯Br inter­action occurs, which generates [100] chains, but no significant π–π or C—H⋯π inter­actions are observed.

The title mol­ecule, C12H15NO5, is a methyl carbamate derivative obtained by reacting (R)-2-phenyl­glycinol and methyl chloro­formate, with calcium hydroxide as heterogeneous catalyst. Supra­molecular chains are formed in the [100] direction, based on N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amide and carboxyl­ate groups. These chains weakly inter­act in the crystal, and the phenyl rings do not display significant π–π inter­actions.

The title SiIV complex, C16H21NO3Si, is built up by a tridentate dinegative Schiff base ligand bound to a sila­cyclo­hexane unit. The coordination geometry of the penta­coordinated SiIV atom is a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The presence of the sila­cyclo­hexane ring in the complex leads to an unusual coordination geometry of the SiIV atom with the N atom from the Schiff base ligand and an alkyl-C atom in apical positions of the trigonal bipyramid. There is a disorder of the methyl group at the imine bond with two orientations resolved for the H atoms [major orientation = 0.55 (3)]. In the crystal, C—H⋯O inter­actions are found within corrugated layers of mol­ecules parallel to the ab plane.

The mol­ecular structure of 2-ferrocenyl-2-[(2-ferrocenylethen­yl)(morpholin-4-yl)meth­yl]-1,3-di­thiol­ane, [Fe2(C5H5)2(C19H21NOS2)] or C29H31Fe2NOS2, has the ferrocenyl fragments in a trans disposition with respect to the vinyl group. One of the methyl­ene groups is disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.782 (13):0.218 (13). In the crystal, cyclo­penta­dienyl-C—H⋯O(morpholin­yl) inter­actions feature within helical chains parallel to the c-axis direction. The chains are connected by methyl­ene- and cyclo­penta­dienyl-C—H⋯O(cyclo­penta­dien­yl) inter­actions.
