The Tb3+ ion is nine-coordinated in a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry by the three N atoms of the tridentate 1-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazine ligand, four carboxylate O atoms of two chelating acetate groups and two O atoms of the coordinated water molecules. In the crystal, the complex cations are linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into dimers. These dimers, nitrate anions and non-coordinating water molecules are joined by O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional structure.

The syntheses and crystal structures of two 2,3-diethylnaphthoquinoxaline-6-11-dione derivatives are described. Molecules of C20H16N2O4 (II) are near planar and form stacks down the c axis through π–π ring interactions. In the substituted derivative, C30H34N4O2 (IV), the polycyclic cores have a significant twist and only minor intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions are present.

1-(2-Hydroxybenzyl)-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium chloride, C20H17N2O2+·Cl−, is prepared by reaction of salicylaldehyde with o-phenylenediamine in the presence of trimethylsilyl chloride acting as a source of HCl. As a result of steric hindrance, the cation in the crystal is far from planar: the benzimidazole ring system makes dihedral angles of 55.49 (9) and 81.36 (8)° with the planes of the phenolic groups. The crystal packing is dominated by the O—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The title compound exhibits two transitions in the UV region, which are revealed in the solid state and solution spectra as an absorption maximum at 280 nm and a shoulder at 320 nm. According to the results of TD–DFT calculation, both transitions have a π–π* nature and the molecular orbitals involved in these transitions are mostly localized on the benzimidazole ring system and on the phenyl ring attached to it at the 2-position.

The new chromone–thiazole hybrid presented here is a candidate as a selective ligand for adenosine receptors. Its structure shows packing polymorphism: the two polymorphs (one with space group P21/n and one with P21/c) show slightly different conformations and the major change induced by crystallization regards the intramolecular contacts defining the supramolecular structure.

The ZnII atoms in {Zn[S2CN(R)CH2CH2OH]2(pyridine)·pyridine}, for R = Me (I) and Et (II), are coordinated non-symmetrically by two dithiocarbamate ligands and by a pyridine ligand, resulting in an NS4 donor set that defines a distorted geometry in each case; the non-coordinating pyridine molecules are connected with the Zn-containing molecules via O—H⋯N(pyridine) hydrogen bonds. The molecular packing features significant (hydroxy)O—H⋯O(hydroxy) hydrogen bonding, in each case leading to supramolecular chains with zigzag (I) or helical (II) arrangements.

The crystal structure determination based on 90 K data of the title imine ligand revealed non-merohedral twinning with three twin domains. In our experience, this is an indication of an ordering phase transition. Consequently, the structure was redetermined with higher temperature data, and a reversible phase transition was discovered.
