The title compound, C22H22O5, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, one of which shows disorder of its ethyl acetate group over two sets of sites in a 0.880 (2):0.120 (2) ratio. The C≡C distances in the two mol­ecules are almost the same [1.1939 (16) and 1.199 (2) Å], but the Csp3—C≡C angles differ somewhat [175.92 (12) and 172.53 (16)°]. In the crystal, several weak C—H⋯O inter­actions are seen.

The title 1,3,4-oxa­diazole derivative crystallizes as a hemihydrate, C8H6N2O2S·0.5H2O, with the water mol­ecule located on a twofold rotation axis. The 1,3,4-oxa­diazole mol­ecule is essentially planar, the r.m.s. deviation of the non-H atoms being 0.0443 Å. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the phenyl and oxa­diazole rings is 6.101 (17)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via O—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the water mol­ecule, the N—H group and the thione S atom into undulating ribbons. Additional π–π inter­actions generate a two-dimensional supra­molecular framework extending parallel to (001).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound {systematic name: sodium [2-({2-[(1-carboxyl­ato-2-methyl-2-sulfanidylprop­yl)amino]­eth­yl}amino)-3-methyl-3-sulf­an­idyl­butano­ato-κ4S,N,N',S']indate(III) tetra­hydrate}, Na[In(C12H20N2O4S2)]·4H2O, contains four indate(III) complex anions {[In(d-ebp)]−; d-H4ebp = N,N'-ethyelenebis(d-penicillamine)], four sodium(I) cations and sixteen water mol­ecules. The indate(III) anions and sodium cations are alternately connected through coordination bonds between Na+ ions and the carboxyl­ate groups of the complex anions, forming an infinite sixfold right-handed helix along the c-axis direction. In the crystal, the helices are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between water mol­ecules bound to Na+ ions and carboxyl­ate groups. The crystal studied was twinned via a twofold axis about [001].

The title compound, (C8H22N2O)2[Mo8O26]·H2O, (cis-H2L)2[β-Mo8O26]·H2O, where L = (bis­[2-N,N-di­methyl­amino)­eth­yl] ether), was synthesized from bis­[2-(di­methyl­amino)­eth­yl] ether and MoO3 under solvothermal conditions and characterized by multinuclear NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The structure displays two [oxybis(ethane-1,2-di­yl)]bis­(di­methyl­ammonium), or [cis-H2L]2+, cations, a central [β-Mo8O26]4− anionic cluster consisting of eight distorted MoO6 octa­hedra, and two water mol­ecules in their deuterated form. The central anion lies across an inversion center. The [cis-H2L]2+ cations are hydrogen bonded to the central [β-Mo8O26]4− cluster via bridging water mol­ecules. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into chains along [010]. Weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link these chains into a three-dimensional network.

In the title compound, [Cu2(C7HF4O2)4(C12H8N2)2(CH3OH)], the mol­ecule lies on a twofold rotation axis in space group C2/c. The Cu2+ ion exhibits a distorted octa­hedral sphere with two N atoms from the phenanthroline ligand, three O atoms from the 2,3,4,5-tetra­fluoro­benzoate ligands and one O atom from a methanol mol­ecule. The distortion from an octa­hedral shape is a consequence of the Jahn–Teller effect of CuII and the small bite angle for the bidentate fluoro­benzoate ligand [54.50 (11)°]. The methanol mol­ecule bridges two symmetry-related CuII atoms to form the complete mol­ecule. In the bidentate fluoro­benzoate ligand, one F atom is disordered over two positions of equal occupancy. In the crystal structure, only weak inter­molecular inter­actions are observed.

Single crystals of rubidium tetra­fluorido­bromate(III), RbBrF4, were grown by melting and recrystallizing RbBrF4 from its melt. This is the first determination of the crystal structure of RbBrF4 using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. We confirmed that the structure contains square-planar [BrF4]− anions and rubidium cations that are coordinated by F atoms in a square-anti­prismatic manner. The compound crystallizes in the KBrF4 structure type. Atomic coordinates and bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision than in a previous report based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2015). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 641, 2593–2598].

The structure of the title compound, [Os(C6HF4S)4{P(C6H5)3}], has been previously reported [Arroyo et al. (1994). J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. pp. 1819–1824], in the space group Poverline{1}. We have now obtained a monoclinic polymorph for this compound, crystallized from ethanol, while the previous form was obtained from a hexa­ne/chloro­form mixture. The mol­ecular structure is based on a trigonal–bipyramidal OsIV coordination geometry, close to that observed previously in the triclinic form.

In the title compound, [Cd4Cl8(C6H16N2)4], the Cd2+ cations and Cl− anions form M4Cl8 clusters with six of the Cl− ions bridging Cd2+ cations and two being pendant. Each Cd2+ cation has distorted octa­hedral coordination completed by four Cl− ions and two N atoms of the asymmetrical bidentate amino ligand. The cluster consists of pairs of face-sharing hexa­hedra linked by a shared edge.

In the title compound, [Pd(C7H3NO4)(C10H8N2)]·H2O, the PdII cation is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar coordination geometry defined by the two N atoms of the 2,2'-bi­pyridine ligand, one O atom and one N atom from the pyridine-2,6-di­carboxyl­ate anion. The complex and solvent water mol­ecule are linked by inter­molecular hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, the complex mol­ecules are stacked in columns along the a axis.

The title compound, C16H24N2O2, previously obtained as a yellow oil, exhibits a rather low melting point close to room temperature 297–298 K). In the mol­ecule, the isoindoline ring system is approximately planar and coplanar to the nitro group, forming a dihedral angle of 5.63 (15)°. In the crystal, only weak N—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions are observed, linking mol­ecules into chains parallel to the [101] direction.

The crystal structure of the benzene monosolvate of the well known organic diphosphite ligand BIPHEPHOS, C46H44O8P2·C6H6, is reported for the first time. Single crystals of BIPHEPHOS were obtained from a benzene solution after layering with n-heptane at room temperature. One specific property of this type of diphosphite structure is the twisting of the biphenyl units. In the crystal, C—H⋯π contacts and π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.8941 (15) Å] are observed.

In the title compound, C29H26ClNO4, the di­hydro­pyridine ring adopts a shallow boat conformation. The mean plane of the di­hydro­pyridine ring (all atoms) subtends dihedral angles of 66.54 (1), 73.71 (1) and 79.47 (1)° with the two phenyl rings and the chloro­phenyl ring, respectively. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into [001] chains.

The title compound, {(C9H11N2)[Mn(NCS)3]}n, has been obtained as a side product of the salt metathesis reaction of 1-ethyl-3-methyl­imidazolium bromide, (EMIm)Br, and K2[Mn(NCS)4]. The structure consists of discrete 1-ethyl-3-methyl­imidazolium cations and an anionic two-dimensional network of manganese(II)-based complex anions, inter­connected by thio­cyanate ions. Every Mn2+ ion is coordinated by three S atoms of three NCS− ions and three N atoms of further three NCS− ions in a meridional octa­hedral fashion.

In the title compound, C18H16N2O2, the dihedral angle between the pyrrole rings is 79.47 (9)°, with the N—H groups approximately orthogonal (H—N⋯N—H pseudo torsion angle = −106°). In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into [11overline{1}] chains. A C—H⋯O inter­action is also observed.

In the title compound, C31H24Br2Cl2N2O, the dihedral angles subtended by the tert-butyl-phenyl, 4,6-di­chloro­phenol and 4-bromo­phenyl (×2) rings are 70.7 (3), 8.1 (3), 28.1 (3) and 84.2 (3)°, respectively. The orientations of the pendant rings may be related to intra­molecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯π inter­actions. One of the tert-butyl methyl groups is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.54 (3):0.46 (3) ratio. In the crystal, a weak C—H⋯π inter­action generates inversion dimers.

In the title hydrated salt, [Ni(C21H17F2N3)2](NO3)2·2H2O, the central NiII ion is coordinated by six N atoms from two tridentate chelating 2,6-bis­[(E)-(4-fluoro­benzyl­imino)­meth­yl]pyridine ligands. While the central NiII ion is six-coordinate, its environment is distorted from an octa­hedral structure because of the unequal Ni—N distances. The Ni—N bond lengths vary from 1.8642 (14) to 2.2131 (15) Å, while the N—Ni—N angles range from 79.98 (6) to 104.44 (6)°. Three coordinating sites of each chelating agent are almost coplanar with respect to the pyridine ring, and two pyridine moieties are perpendicular to each other. Two non-coordinating nitrate anions within the asymmetric unit balance the charges of the central metal ion, and are linked with two crystal water mol­ecules, forming a water–nitrate cyclic tetra­meric unit [O⋯O = 2.813 (2) to 3.062 (2) Å]. In an isolated mol­ecule, the fluoro­phenyl rings of one ligand are stacked with the central ring of the other ligand via π–π inter­actions, with the closest centroid-to-plane distances being 3.359 (6), 3.408 (5), 3.757 (6) and 3.659 (5) Å.

In the title compound, C29H23ClN2O, the 5-chloro­phenol ring and the imidazole ring are nearly coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 15.76 (9)° between them. The ethyl­phenyl ring and the two phenyl rings subtend angles of 71.09 (7), 43.95 (5) and 36.53 (9)°, respectively, with the imidazole plane. An intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond supports the mol­ecular conformation, and an inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­action, originating from an ortho-phenyl H atom, stabilizes the packing arrangement. In addition, a weak C—H⋯π inter­action, also involving an ortho-phenyl H atom, is observed.

In the title hydrated Schiff base, C13H12N4O3·H2O, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 5.06 (11)° and an intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, Ow—H⋯O and Ow—H⋯N (w = water) hydrogen bonds link the components into centrosymmetric tetra­mers (two Schiff bases and two water mol­ecules). Longer N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the tetra­mers into [010] chains. A weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bond and aromatic π–π stacking between the pyrazine and phenyl rings [centroid–centroid separations = 3.604 (2) and 3.715 (2) Å] are also observed.

In the title compound, C12H9ClN2O, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 1.78 (4)° and an intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules into [001] chains.

The title compound, [Co(C18H37N2)2(NCS)4], consists of a cobalt(II) ion positioned on the origin of the triclinic unit cell. It is coordinated by the N atoms of two trans-oriented 1-dodecyl-4-aza-1-azoniabi­cyclo­[2.2.2]octane (DABCO+) cations, which carry n-dodecyl chains at the non-coordinating N atoms. The distorted octa­hedral coordination environment of the CoII ion is completed through four N atoms of iso­thio­cyanate ions, which are arranged within the equatorial plane. Non-classical hydrogen bonding of the types C—H⋯N and C—H⋯S between the filamentous mol­ecules lead to the formation of layers parallel to (001).

In the title complex, [NiCl2(C12H9N3)2]·H2O, a divalent nickel atom is coordinated by two 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole ligands in a slightly distorted octa­hedral environment defined by four N donors of two N,N'-chelating ligands, along with two cis-oriented anionic chloride donors. The title complex crystallized with a water mol­ecule disordered over two positions. In the crystal, a combination of O—H⋯Cl, O—H.·O and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, together with C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯π inter­actions, links the complex mol­ecules and the water mol­ecules to form a supra­molecular three-dimensional framework. The title complex is isostructural with the cobalt(II) dichloride complex reported previously [Das et al. (2011). Org. Biomol. Chem. 9, 7097–7107].

In the title compound, C16H21N3O4, the 1,4-di­hydro­pyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, with the imidazole substituent in an axial orientation [dihedral angle between ring planes = 82.9 (6)°]. In the crystal structure, pairs of N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds with graph-set notation R22(14) connect the mol­ecules into chains running along the c-axis direction.

The title compound, [Bi(C9H6NS2)3], was prepared by reacting BiCl3 and 2-mercapto-4-phenyl­thia­zole (LH) at room temperature in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:4. The mol­ecular structure reveals a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment around the BiIII atom. Two of the three monoanionic ligands L− coordinate in an N,S-bidentate mode, while one shows a monodentate mode through an S atom. There are no significant inter­molecular inter­actions present in the crystal.

In the title mol­ecule, C18H17FO5, the conformation about the C=C bond of the central enone group is trans. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 13.08 (3)°. The hy­droxy group attached to the benzene ring is involved in an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along [001].

The title compound, C25H22N2O2Se, crystallizes in the space group P21/c with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit.

The structure of the title salt, C6H10N22+·2C7H7O3S−, consists of a unique benzene-1,2-diaminium dication charge balanced by a pair of crystallographically independent 4-methyl­benzene-1-sulfonate anions. The cations and anions are inter­linked by several N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C19H13IO2, the dihedral angle between the naphthyl ring system and the pendant iodo­phenyl ring is 72.48 (11)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯π inter­actions and I⋯O [3.293 (2) Å] halogen bonds are observed, which combine to generate a herringbone packing motif.

The title compound, C20H18N4O2, known as bis­pyrazolone, was crystallized from dimethyl sulfoxide. The structure has ortho­rhom­bic (Pbca) symmetry at 150 K, and displays both intra- and inter­molecular hydrogen bonding through C—H⋯O and N—H⋯O contacts, respectively. None of the phenyl and pyrazolone rings in the mol­ecule are coplanar. The dihedral angle between the pyrazolone rings is 66.18 (5)°.

Caesium tetra­fluorido­bromate(III), CsBrF4, was crystallized in form of small blocks by melting and recrystallization. The crystal structure of CsBrF4 was redetermined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In comparison with a previous study based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2013). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 639, 2846–2850], bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision, and all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. It was confirmed that the structure of CsBrF4 contains two square-planar [BrF4]− anions each with point group symmetry mmm, and a caesium cation (site symmetry mm2) that is coordinated by twelve fluorine atoms, forming an anti­cubocta­hedron. CsBrF4 is isotypic with CsAuF4.

The title hemihydrate, C12H9N5·0.5H2O, was isolated from the condensation reaction of quinoline-2-carbaldehyde with 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole. The Schiff base mol­ecule adopts an E configuration about the C=N bond and is approximately planar, with a dihedral angle between the quinoline ring system and the 1,2,4-triazole ring of 12.2 (1)°. In the crystal, one water mol­ecule bridges two Schiff base mol­ecules via O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The Schiff base mol­ecules are inter­connected by π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid-centroid distances of 3.7486 (7) and 3.9003 (7) Å] into columns along [1overline{1}0].

In the title compound, C21H20BrNO4S, a key inter­mediate in the synthesis of the widely used β-lactamase inhibitor tazobactam, the five-membered thia­zolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation and the four-membered azetidine ring is in a distorted planar conformation. The crystal structure features C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a weak C—H⋯π inter­action.

The title carbonate hydrate, Cs2Mg4(CO3)5·10H2O, was crystallized at room temperature out of aqueous solutions containing caesium bicarbonate and magnesium nitrate. Its monoclinic crystal structure (P21/n) consists of double chains of composition 1∞[Mg(H2O)2/1(CO3)3/3], isolated [Mg(H2O)(CO3)2]2– units, two crystallographically distinct Cs+ ions and a free water mol­ecule. The crystal under investigation was twinned by reticular pseudomerohedry.

The structure of the title compound, H3O+·C2F6NO4S2−·C12H24O6 or [H3O+·C12H24O6][N(SO2CF3)2−], which is an ionic liquid with a melting point of 341–343 K, has been determined at 113 K. The asymmetric unit consists of two crystallographically independent 18-crown-6 mol­ecules, two hydro­nium ions and two bis­(tri­fluoro­methane­sulfon­yl)amide anions; each 18-crown-6 mol­ecule complexes with a hydro­nium ion. In one 18-crown-6 mol­ecule, a part of the ring exhibits conformational disorder over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.533 (13):0.467 (13). One hydro­nium ion is complexed with the ordered 18-crown-6 mol­ecule via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with H2OH⋯OC distances of 1.90 (6)–2.19 (7) Å, and the other hydro­nium ion with the disordered crown mol­ecule with distances of 1.85 (6)–2.36 (6) Å. The hydro­nium ions are also linked to the anions via O—H⋯F hydrogen bonds. The crystal studied was found to be a racemic twin with a component ratio of 0.55 (13):0.45 (13).

The title compound, C21H39NS2, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, both having a linear 18-carbon alkyl chain bound through a thio­ether group. No π–π stacking or hydrogen bonding is observed. The orientation of the alkyl chains facilitates inter­molecular inter­actions between te chains. The structure is metrically ortho­rhom­bic but crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 and was found to be twinned by pseudomerohedry (emulating ortho­rhom­bic symmetry) and by inversion. The twin factions refined to 0.37 (4), 0.13 (4), 0.31 (5), and 0.19 (4).

The title compound, C11H10N2O2S2, crystallizes with one complete mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, weak hydrogen bonding is observed between the N-oxide moieties and several C—H units.

The title compound, C16H9N3O2S2, was synthesized via a condensation reaction in refluxing acetic acid. The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the quinoxaline unit and the thienyl rings are 35.16 (5)° and 24.94 (3)°.

The title naphthalene derivative, C24H20O2, features 4-methy­oxy-substituted benzene rings in the 1 and 4 positions of the naphthalene ring system. There are two crystallographically independent mol­ecules (A and B) in asymmetric unit. The independent mol­ecules have very similar conformations in which the naphthalene ring systems are only slightly bent, exhibiting dihedral angles between the constituent benzene rings of 3.76 (15) and 3.39 (15)° for A and B, respectively. The pendent 4-methyoxybenzene rings are splayed out of the plane through the naphthalene ring system to which they are connected [range of dihedral angles = 59.63 (13) to 67.09 (13)°]. In the crystal, the mol­ecular packing is consolidated by inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions, leading to supra­molecular chains along the b axis. The chains assemble without directional inter­actions between them.

The tricyclic core in the title compound, C26H34O4Si2, shows disorder of the furan ring and deviates slightly from planarity, with the largest displacement from the least-squares plane [0.166 (2) Å] for the major disordered part of the methine C atom. To this C atom the likewise disordered vinyl group is attached, lying nearly perpendicular to the tricyclic core. In the crystal, mutual C—H⋯π inter­actions between the methine group of the furan ring and the central ring of the tricyclic core of an adjacent mol­ecule lead to inversion-related dimers.

In the extended structure of the title mol­ecular salt, C6H9N2+·C7H7O3S−, the cations and anions are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate [010] chains.

In the title compound [systematic name: 5-methyl-1,3-bis­(2-oxoprop­yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione], C11H14N2O4, the two 2-oxopropyl groups are nearly perpendicular to the planar thymine unit. One methyl group of oxopropyl substituent is disordered. In the crystal, C—H⋯O inter­actions help to connect the mol­ecules into (001) layers.

The title compound, (C15H23N2)2[MnBr4], comprises two N-adamantyl-N'-ethyl­imidazolium cations and one tetra­hedral [MnBr4]2− anion. Next to Coulombic inter­actions, weak hydrogen bonds of the type C—H⋯Br consolidate the crystal packing, building up a three-dimensional network.

The relative stereo- and regiochemistry of the racemic title compound, C25H19NO7, were established from the crystal structure. The fused benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 77.3 (1) and 60.3 (1)° with the hy­droxy-substituted benzene ring and the nitro-substituted benzene ring, respectively. The dihedral angle between the hy­droxy-substituted benzene ring and the nitro-substituted benzene ring is 76.4 (1)°. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules, forming layers parallel to (100). Within these layers, there are weak π–π stacking inter­actions with a ring centroid–ring centroid distance of 3.555 (1) Å.

The structure of the tertiary amine tris­(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylmeth­yl)amine (C24H21N7, abbreviated ntb) has been previously reported twice as solvates, namely the monohydrate and the aceto­nitrile–methanol–water (1/0.5/1.5) solvate, both with the tripodal conformation formed via multiple hydrogen bonds. Now, we report the tri­methanol adduct, ntb·3CH3OH, where the amine has the stair conformation featuring one benzimidazole group oriented in the opposite direction from the other two. The asymmetric unit contains one-half amine, completed through the mirror plane m in space group Pmn21 to form the ntb mol­ecule, with the H atom for each imidazole moiety equally disordered between both N sites available in the imidazole ring. The asymmetric unit also contains one and a half methanol mol­ecules, one being placed in general position with the hy­droxy H atom disordered over two sites with occupancy ratio 1:1, while the other lies on the m mirror plane, and has thus its hy­droxy H atom disordered by symmetry. As in the previously reported solvates, all imine and amine groups of the ntb mol­ecules and the methanol mol­ecules are involved in N—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the title compound, however, the involved H atom is systematically a disordered H atom provided by an imidazole group or a methanol mol­ecule.

In the title compound, C14H14O, the seven-membered ring is in a pseudo-chair conformation. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming layers parallel to (010). In addition, there are weak π–π stacking inter­actions between inversion-related naphthalene ring systems, with a ring centroid–ring centroid distance of 3.518 (5) Å.

In the title compound, C19H16O, the pyran ring is in a half-chair conformation. The essentially planar naphthalene ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.020 Å) forms a dihedral angle of 14.37 (5)° with the fused benzene ring. In the crystal, pairs of mol­ecules are connected into inversion dimers by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate R22(6) loops.

Irradiation of 1-(1-benzo­cyclo­butenyl­idene)benzo­cyclo­butene gives indeno­indene and its head-to-head photodimer nona­cyclo­[9.7.7.72,10.01,11.02,10.03,8.012,17.019,24.026,31]dotriaconta-3,5,7,12,14,16,19,21,23,26,28,30-dodeca­ene, C32H24. The mol­ecule is built from four essentially planar indane units attached to an elongated cyclo­butane ring. In the crystal, C—H⋯π inter­actions connect mol­ecules into layers parallel to the bc plane.

The title salt, (PMIM)2[Ni(P2S8)2] (PMIM = 3-methyl-1-propyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium, C7H13N2+), consists of a nickel–thio­phosphate anion charge-balanced by a pair of crystallographically independent PMIM cations. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n. The structure exhibits the known [Ni(P2S8)2]2− anion with two unique imidazolium cations in the asymmetric unit. Whereas one PMIM cation is well ordered, the other is disordered over two orientations with refined occupancies of 0.798 (2) and 0.202 (2). The salt was prepared directly from the elements in the ionic liquid [PMIM]CF3SO3. Whereas one of the PMIM cations is well behaved (it does not exhibit disorder even in the propyl side chain), the other is found in two overlapping positions. The refined occupancies for the two orientations are roughly 80:20. Here, too, there appears to be little disorder in the propyl arm.

Crystals of the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvate of [1–9-NαC]-linusorb B3 (Cyclo­linopeptide A; CLP-A; C57H84N9O9·C2H6OS), a cyclic polypeptide were obtained following peptide extraction and purification from flaxseed oil. There are four intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked in chains along the a axis by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Each DMSO O atom accepts a hydrogen bond from an NH group at the Phe6 location in the CLP-A mol­ecule.
