Structures are reported for four compounds along a synthetic pathway to bipyrazoles. The supramolecular assemblies range from isolated molecules via a simple hydrogen-bonded chain of rings and a ribbon of edge-fused hydrogen-bonded rings to a hydrogen-bonded sheet.

Although 4,4′-bis[5-(methoxycarbonyl)pentyloxy]biphenyl (BBO6-Me) and 4,4′-bis[5-(ethoxycarbonyl)pentyloxy]biphenyl (BBO6-Et) are isostructural, BBO6-Me behaves as an organogelator, whereas BBO6-Et does not under the conditions examined. Intermolecular interactions are explored using Hirshfeld surfaces, fingerprint plots, interaction energies, and energy frameworks.

The first heteroleptic diarylphosphate rare-earth complexes have been obtained. Three crystal structures of [Ln{O2P(O-2,6-iPr2C6H3)2}2Cl(CH3OH)4]·2CH3OH (Ln = Nd, Lu and Y) are isomorphous and exhibit intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding, forming a two-dimensional intermolecular framework. The complex [Nd{O2P(O-2,6-iPr2C6H3)2}2(NO3)(CH3OH)4]·2CH3OH demonstrates an analogous crystal structure.

A new CdII coordination polymer based on 2-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-6-methyl-1H-benzimidazole (immb) and benzene-1,2-dicarboxylate (1,2-bdic2−) ligands has been prepared and structurally characterized. The CdII ions are linked by bridging immb and 1,2-bdic2− ligands to generate a two-dimensional network structure.

The crystal structures of three closely related N-aryl-2,5-dimethoxybenzenesulfonamides display different supramolecular architectures built by various weak intermolecular interactions of the types C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl, C—H⋯π(aryl), π(aryl)–π(aryl) and Cl⋯Cl. Hirshfeld surface analysis of these compounds has also been conducted in order to understand the relationship between the crystal structures.
