Na4[Fe(CN)6].10H2O crystallizes with the Fe atom lying on an inversion centre and the cyano groups in a regular octahedral arrangement around it. The water molecules form a hydrogen-bonded network and are arranged around the Na atoms.

The repeating unit in this polymeric structure involves both thiourea ligands and one 2-fluorobenzoate ligand. The Pb atom is coordinated by four O atoms from three 2-fluorobenzoate ligands and four S atoms from four thiourea ligands. The Pb⋯Pb separation is 3.74 Å. The many hydrogen bonds include three-centered hydrogen bonds involving C-F bonded F atoms.

The structure of the cholic acid–methanol–water inclusion complex is similar to that of cholic acid with methanol [Jones & Nassimbeni (1990). Acta Cryst. B46, 399-405]. The methanol guest is hydrogen bonded to the water molecule, which in turn participates in hydrogen bonds with three of the cholic acid O atoms.

The title compound, synthesized from the [2+2] cycloaddition of dichloroketene with 1-(benzoyloxy)methyl-3-methyl-2-butene, is shown to have the benzoyloxymethyl group at the 4 position. The cyclobutanone ring is puckered with a 28.6(2)° fold angle.

The N-H group of the title molecule forms an intramolecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond [N⋯N 2.836 (3) Å] and is shielded from possible intermolecular acceptors by the SiMe3 groups.

The azapurine base has a slight butterfly shape with a 4.0 (3)o interplanar angle between the five-membered triazolo and six-membered pyrimidine rings. The β-D-xylopyranosyl ring has a 4C1 conformation.

The pyrrolidine ring has a twist conformation with a pseudo-twofold axis passing through the N atom. The crystal packing is stabilized by an intermolecular hydrogen bond.

Hexakis(tetratelluriotantalum) tetraiodide hexaiodotantalate has a [TaTe4]n chain structure with TaI6 complex anions and I anions between the chains. The [TaTe4]n chain contains rectangular antiprismatic TaTe8 polyhedra, each Ta atom being coordinated by four Te2 groups.

The single crystal of CO2 at 1.00 (5) GPa pressure exhibits Pa-3 symmetry with a = 5.4942 (2) Å and a C-O bond length of 1.168 (1) Å (corrected for thermal motion effects). The study demonstrates that an earlier claim of a new dry ice II phase at this pressure is unfounded.

Nb9AsO25 is isostructural with Nb9PO25 (I4/m). The structure contains 3 × 3 ReO3-type columns of distorted NbO6 octahedra.

Lithium trithioarsenate, a new member of the M3AX3 group of compounds, contains AsS3 pyramids in which all the S atoms are non-bridging. The Li atoms form LiS4 tetrahedra and LiS3+2 distorted trigonal bipyramids.

The reaction of Rb2S3, NbO and S yields single crystals of Rb3NbS4 with the K3VS4 structure type. The structure is based on Rb+ cations and discrete tetrahedral NbS43− anions.
