The present paper describes the synthesis and crystal structure of a cobalt(II) isobutyrate dihydrate, based on a slightly distorted CoO6 repeat unit comprising four bridging carboxylate O-atom donors and two bridging water donors, giving one-dimensional polymeric chains with composition {[Co{(CH3)2CHCO2}2(H2O)]·H2O}n. Hydrogen bonding through the water molecules gives two-dimensional sheets lying parallel to (100).

The asymmetric unit of [{Sn(C4H9)2(C6H5COO)}2O]2 consists of two independent centrosymmetric half formula units. Both molecules adopt the ladder structure typical for this class of dimeric tetraorganodistannoxane dicarboxylates. A nearly linear very short C—H⋯O contact gives rise to a chain-like arrangement of molecules in the [111] direction

The synthesis of rac-6′-bromo-3′-diethylamino-3H-spiro[2-benzofuran-1,9′-xanthen]-3-one and its resolution into separate enantiomers is described. The structures of the racemate and of the individual enantiomers were determined and showed differing degrees of folding of the xanthene portion, which were attributed primarily to packing interactions. The supramolecular features of the three structures show significant differences.

Benzoic acid–pyrrolidin-1-ium-2-carboxylate (1/1) is an example of the application of non-centrosymmetric co-crystallization for the growth of a crystal containing a typically centrosymmetric component in a chiral space group. It co-crystallizes in the space group P212121 and contains benzoic acid and L-proline in equal proportions. The crystal structure exhibits chains of L-proline zwitterions capped by benzoic acid molecules which form a C(5)[(11)] hydrogen-bonded network along [100].

1-Methylimidazole 3-N-oxide (NMI-O) crystallizes as a monohydrate, in the monoclinic space group P21 with Z′ = 2 (molecules A and B). The imidazole rings display a planar geometry and are linked in the crystal structure into infinite zigzag strands of ⋯NMI-O(A)⋯OH2⋯NMI-O(B)⋯OH2⋯ units by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These chains propagate along the b-axis direction of the unit cell.

The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystal contains one molecule of N6-benzoyladenine (BA) and one molecule of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA). The N6-benzoyladenine (BA) has an N(7)—H tautomeric form with non-protonated N-1 and N-3 atoms. This tautomeric form is stabilized by a typical intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond on the Hoogsteen face of the purine ring. The primary robust (8) ring motif is formed in the Watson–Crick face via N—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

A highly distorted pentacoordinated C2NO2 geometry is observed for the Sn atom owing to a tridentate mode of coordination of the Schiff base ligand and the restricted bite angles it subtends. In the crystal, supramolecular layers sustained by C—H⋯O, π–π, C—H⋯π(arene) and C—H⋯π(chelate ring) interactions are formed.

The water/acetonitrile solvent of afatinib exhibits pseudo-inversion symmetry. Exact inversion symmetry is broken by swapping of oxygen and CH2 moieties of its tetrahydrofuranyl substituents, which can be traced back to C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O interactions of the acetonitrile solvent molecules with the tetrahydrofuranyl units.
