The title compound was synthesized by the condensation between tri­fluoro­methyl­aniline and di­chloro­salicyl­aldehyde by nucleophilic addition, forming a hemiaminal, followed by a dehydration to generate an imine. The compound crystallizes in an ortho­rhom­bic Pbca (Z = 8) space group with a dihedral angle of 44.70 (5)° between the two aromatic rings. In the crystal, the mol­ecules pack together to form a zigzag pattern along the c axis.

1,2-Bis(3,5-di­methyl-2-thienyl)perfluoro­cyclo­pentene formed its own spherulites by sublimation onto the hydro­philic surfaces of the (0001) planes of α-quartz and sapphire substrates. The formation of different morphologies of these spherulites was attributed to the surface properties of each substrate. Depending on the morphology of the spherulites, hollow rod crystals with cross sections of different sizes and shapes and branching structures were generated on the surfaces of the spherulites.

Structures of tetra­pyridine­silver(I) hexa­fluoro­phosphate and tetra­pyridine silver(I) hexa­fluoro­anti­monate are reported from data collected at 300 K and 100 K.

A chiral nickel(II) Schiff base complex derived from 2-hy­droxy­benzo­phenone and (1S,2S)-1,2-di­phenyl­ethyl­enedi­amine shows a λ conformation of the central di­amine chelate ring. The substituents on the C&z-dbnd;N carbon atoms significantly affect the circular dichroism spectra.

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 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.

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 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).

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.

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 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.

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 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.

The title compound, trans-di­bromido­tetra­kis­(5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-κN2)manganese(II), [MnBr2(C4H6N2)4] or [Mn(3-MePzH)4Br2] (1) crystallizes in the triclinic Poverline{1} space group with the cell parameters a = 7.6288 (3), b = 8.7530 (4), c = 9.3794 (4) Å and α = 90.707 (4), β = 106.138 (4), γ = 114.285 (5)°, V = 542.62 (5) Å3, T = 120 K. The asymmetric unit contains only half the mol­ecule with the manganese atom is situated on a crystallographic inversion center. The 3-MePzH ligands are present in an AABB type manner with two methyl groups pointing up and the other two down. The supra­molecular architecture is characterized by several inter­molecular C—H⋯N, N—H⋯Br, and C—H⋯π inter­actions. Earlier, a polymorphic structure of [Mn(3-MePzH)4Br2] (2) with a similar geometry and also an AABB arrangement for the pyrazole ligands was described [Reedijk et al. (1971). Inorg. Chem. 10, 2594–2599; a = 8.802 (6), b = 9.695 (5), c = 7.613 (8) Å and α = 105.12 (4), β = 114.98 (4), γ = 92.90 (3)°, V = 558.826 (5) Å3, T = 295 K]. A varying supra­molecular pattern was reported, with the structure of 1 featuring a herringbone type pattern while that of structure 2 shows a pillared network type of arrangement along the a axis. A nickel complex [Ni(3-MePzH)4Br2] isomorphic to 1 and the analogous chloro derivatives of FeII, CoII and CuII are also known.

The title compound, C16H12FN3OS, a fluorinated di­thio­carbazate imine derivative, was synthesized by the one-pot, multi-component condensation reaction of hydrazine hydrate, carbon di­sulfide, 4-fluoro­benzyl chloride and isatin. The compound demonstrates near-planarity across much of the mol­ecule in the solid state and a Z configuration for the azomethine C=N bond. The Z form is further stabilized by the presence of an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the extended structure, mol­ecules are linked into dimers by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and further connected into chains along either [2overline{1}0] or [100] by weak C—H⋯S and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, which further link into corrugated sheets and in combination form the overall three-dimensional network.

The structure of the title compound, [C14H18N2)2Ag2](NO3)2, contains subtle differences in ligand, metal, and counter-anion coordination. One quinoxaline ligand uses one of its quinoxaline N atoms to bond to one silver cation. That silver cation is bound to a second quinoxaline which, in turn, is bound to a second silver atom; thereby using both of its quinoxaline N atoms. A nitrate group bonds with one of its O atoms to the first silver and uses the same oxygen to bond to a silver atom (related by symmetry to the second), thereby forming an extended network. The second nitrate group on the other silver bonds via two nitrate O atoms; one silver cation therefore has a coordination number of three whereas the second has a coordination number of four. One of the quinoxaline ligands has a disordered ethyl group.

In the title compound, {(C6H8N)[Zn2(HPO3)2(H2PO3)]}n, the constituent ZnO4, HPO3 and H2PO3 polyhedra of the inorganic component are linked into (010) sheets by Zn—O—P bonds (mean angle = 134.4°) and the layers are reinforced by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The protonated templates are anchored to the inorganic sheets via bifurcated N—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds.

The title compound, C22H24N2O2, crystallizes in space group P21/n. The mol­ecular structure is almost planar except for a tilt of the phenyl rings. The allyl groups on both ends exhibit the trans-form and the connected N atoms show sp2 character. The mol­ecules are stacked and assembled along the c-axis direction by C—H⋯π inter­actions.

The title compound, C17H17BN3I, is a type of di­aza­borinane featuring substitution at the 1, 2, and 3 positions of the nitro­gen–boron six-membered heterocycle. The organic mol­ecule has a planar structure, the dihedral angle between the pyridyl ring and the fused ring system being 3.46 (4)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are stacked in a head-to-tail manner. The iodide ion makes close contacts with three organic mol­ecules and supports the alternating stack.

The cation of the title hydrated salt, C17H17BN3+·I−·H2O, is a di­aza­borinane featuring substitution at the 1, 2, and 3 positions in the nitro­gen–boron six-membered heterocycle. The cation is approximately planar with a dihedral angle between the pyridyl ring and the di­aza­borinane ring system of 5.40 (5)°. In the crystal, the cations stack along [100] in an alternating head-to-tail manner, while the iodide ion and water mol­ecule form one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains beside the cation stack. The cation stacks and I−–water chains are crosslinked by N—H⋯I and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The use of acetic acid (HOAc) in a reaction between CuCl2·2H2O and secnid­azole, an active pharmaceutical ingredient useful in the treatment against a variety of anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, affords the title complex, [CuCl2(C7H11N3O3)2]. This compound was previously synthesized using ethanol as solvent, although its crystal structure was not reported [Betanzos-Lara et al. (2013). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 397, 94–100]. In the mol­ecular complex, the Cu2+ cation is situated at an inversion centre and displays a square-planar coordination environment. There is a hydrogen-bonded framework based on inter­molecular O—H⋯Cl inter­actions, characterized by H⋯Cl separations of 2.28 (4) Å and O—H⋯Cl angles of 175 (3)°. The resulting supra­molecular network is based on R22(18) ring motifs, forming chains in the [010] direction.
