The title compound, [VO(salen)(NCS)], was prepared by the reaction of [VO(salen)]NO3 with KSCN. The structure was determined in order to observe the coordination of an isothiocyanate ion trans to an oxo O atom. There are two independent complex molecules in the crystal and they have similar distorted octahedral coordination geometries, with V—NCS distances of 2.218(6) and 2.300(5)Å.

The crystal structure of phenathridinium hydrogenselenate monohydrate has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound was characterized using IR spectroscopy, powder diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. No indication of unusual dielectric properties was found.

The structure of the title compound was determined previously by Jones & Templeton [Acta Cryst. (1958), 11, 484] at T = 278 K using the Weissenberg technique, and twice by Nahringbauer [Acta Chem. Scand. (1970), 24, 453-462] at T = 278 and 93 K. The present redetermination at T = 40 K provides data of higher precision, reflected in s.u.'s which are about one third those of Nahringbauer.

The condensation reaction of 1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one with ethyl hydrazono-α-bromoglyoxylate in the presence of triethylamine is peri and regioselective, as indicated by the structures of the title cycloadducts. Moreover, these structures indicate that the dipole addition occurs in a unique way on the C=N double bond.

The absolute configuration of the title compound has been determined. The structure contains two independent molecules with very similar conformations. Torsion angles about corresponding bonds differ by less than 10°. The solvent molecule is not involved in short intermolecular contacts.

Coumarin derivatives are used as antifungal compounds, anticoagulants and laser dyes. In the title compound, the dihydrobenzene ring adopts a half-chair conformation and the hydroxyl group is involved in an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. The inversion-related molecules are stacked 3.446 (4) Å apart along the c axis.

In the title compound, one of the two chlorophenyl rings is disordered with the two different orientations nearly related by a 180° rotation around its bond with the triazole ring. The planar triazole ring makes dihedral angles of 81.1(2) and 78.4(4)° with the two phenyl rings. Around the inversion centre, the molecules exist as an N—H⋯ hydrogen-bonded dimer.
