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.

N—H⋯X (X = Cl and Br) hydrogen bonds are the dominating short contacts in three isomorphous 3,5-di­chloro­pyridinium salts. Triangular halogen inter­actions contribute to a minor extent.

Intermolecular sp- and sp2-C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds dominate the intermolecular interactions in the structures of a series of 1,2-di­alk­oxy-4-ethynyl-5-nitro­benzenes, with unexpected beauty and diversity.

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.
