Cover illustration: The crystal structure of [Ni(bztmpen)(CH3CN)](BF4)2, which reveals a pentadentate bztmpen ligand {bztmpen = N-benzyl-N,N',N'-tris­[(6-methyl­pyridin-2-yl)meth­yl]ethane-1,2-di­amine, C30H35N5} and an open site for coordination by other species, can be correlated with its promising reversible electrocatalytic behaviour. The large number of weak C-H...X (X = N, F) interactions in the crystal structure is also notable. See: Chen, Ren, Guo & Sang [Acta Cryst. (2017). E73, 825-828].

Trisodium rubidium hepta­magnesium hexakis(ortho­phosphate) exhibits a new structure type, with MgOx (x = 5 and 6) polyhedra linked directly to each other through common corners or edges and reinforced by corner-sharing with PO4 tetra­hedra. The resulting anionic three-dimensional framework leads to the formation of channels in which the Na+ cations are located, while the Rb+ cations are located in large inter­stitial cavities.

The asymmetric unit of the title carbamate, contains two independent mol­ecules (A and B) with similar conformations. In the crystal, they are arranged alternately, forming –ABAB– chains linked by NHO(carbon­yl) hydrogen bonds, which extend along the a-axis direction.

The homoleptic nickel–thio­semicarbazonate complex shows structural features including an unusual cis-coordination and trans-anagostic Ni—H intra­molecular inter­actions. In the crystal, complex and DMF solvate mol­ecules build up a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded polymer along [010].

The synthesis and structure of the title piperidine derivative is reported. It is one of a second generation of compounds designed and synthesized based on a very potent and selective α9α10 nicotinic acetyl­choline receptor antagonist ZZ161C, which has shown analgesic effects in a chemotherapy-induced neuropathy animal model.

The title compound exhibits a cis conformation with respect to the F atom and the methine H atom. It crystallized from a racemic mixture as a pure diastereomer, hence the unit-cell contains both the 3S,4R- and 3R,4S-enanti­omers.

The crystal structures of benzotriazolylpropanamides are governed by π–π stacking between the benzotriazolyl residues and, in the case of primary amide NH2 groups, by N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N bridging.

A second metastable polymorphic form of the anti­fungal anilino­pyrimidine active pyrimethanil was isolated from an attempted co-crystallization experiment with meso-erythriol in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The origin of the polymorphic behaviour is revealed in that the conformation of each dimer present in the asymmetric unit of the structure is unique and determined by the rotation of the second mol­ecule in the dimer with respect to the first.

The transition metal orthophosphate Ag1.655Co1.64Fe1.36(PO4)3 crystallizes in an alluaudite-type structure. The chains characterizing the alluaudite structure are built up from edge-sharing [CoO6] and [FeO6] octa­hedra linked together by PO4 tetra­hedra. The Ag+ cations are located in two types of channels in the resulting framework.

The transition metal orthophosphate CaNi2Fe(PO4)3 adopts the α-CrPO4 structure type. The structure is built up from two types of sheets, resulting in an open three-dimensional framework that delimits two types of channels in which the CaII cations are located.

A polycrystalline sample of the title compound exhibits a considerable second-order non-linear optical effect (frequency doubling of 1064 nm light to output 532 nm light). In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating chains along the [100] direction. Based on a DFT calculation, [100] proves to be the most favourable direction for charge transport and the title crystal could be used as a hole-transport material because of its high hole mobility.

Research communications

Research communications are designed to help authors bring out the science behind their structure determinations. Authors are encouraged to report more than one structure in the same communication and also to include the results of investigations with other techniques. The Research communications format makes Acta E the natural home for structure determinations with interesting science to report.
