Cover illustration: The salt bis­(di-isobutyl­ammonium) tetra­chlorido­bis­(3-tri­fluoro­methyl­phen­yl)stannate was obtained as a by-product in a reaction of tris­(3-tri­fluoro­methyl­phen­yl)tin chloride with acetic acid in the presence of di-isobutyl­amine. An inter­esting Sn—C cleavage occurred during this reaction. The asymmetric unit comprises a di-isobutyl­ammonium cation in a general position and a diorganotin tetra­chloride dianion, located on a centre of inversion; the SnIV atom is octa­hedrally coordinated. In the crystal, charge-assisted N+—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds along with C—H⋯F contacts occur within supra­molecular layers that inter­digitate along the a-axis direction.

The synthesis and crystal structure of a new triazole-based N-heterocyclic carbene iridium(I) cationic complex with a tetra­fluorido­borate counter-anion and solvating di­chloro­methane is reported. The IrI center of the cationic complex has a distorted square-planar conformation, formed by a bidentate cyclo­octa-1,5-diene (COD) ligand, an N-heterocyclic carbene, and a tripheylphosphane ligand. There are weak hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between C—H groupings of the iridium complex and F atoms of the [BF4] counter-ions.

An asymmetric naphthyl-/methyl-substituted cyclo­penta­diene was synthesized and one isomer of five accessible through sigmatropic rearrangement was isolated and characterized by 1H NMR and X-ray diffraction. The title compound is envisioned as a π-bonded `antenna' ligand to enhance lanthanide ion luminescence sensitization.

The seven-membered 1,3-thia­zepan-4-one ring system, like its six- and five-membered-ring analogues, is known to be biologically active and is of potential medicinal use. The crystal structure reported is of the sulfone of a 1,3-thia­zepan-4-one in which the seven-membered ring adopts a pucker-chair conformation.
