In the compound [Lu(C7H7)3(C4H8O)2], the Lu ion is coordinated by three benzyl and two tetrahydrofuran ligands. Two of the benzyl groups are bonded in a classical η1-fashion through the methylene via the ipso-carbon atom of the benzyl ligand in addition to bonding through the methylene C atom, resulting in a modified trigonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry about the Lu center.

A new organic perchlorate, C7H10N+·ClO4−, was synthesized by slow evaporation at room temperature and its crystal structure was determined. This compound was characterized by powder XRD, IR, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The DFT optimized structure at the B3LYP/6–311++G (d,p) level was compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state. Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots are presented and discussed.

The treatment of non-fully substituted 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) with cupric nitrate leads to the introduction of a nitro group at different positions of the BODIPY core, depending on the substitution pattern. This methodology complements the treatment of fully substituted BODIPY with cupric nitrate that was previously reported. In all three structures, the fused ring system is in a very flattened `V-shape' and the central six-membered ring adopts a flattened sofa conformation.

Three binary and one ternary charge-transfer complexes have been made using 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, all of which show alternating donor and acceptor stacks, which have weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds perpendicular to the stacking axis. The final complex is a crystal engineering attempt to modify the packing of the stacks by inserting a third molecule into the structure; this third molecule features strong hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic acid group of the donor molecule and the pyridine acceptor molecule.

The N atom of morpholine was coupled to the 2-carbon atom of pyrazine in a PdII/phosphatriazaadamantyl butane saltone-catalysed reaction and crystallized from the eluent (EtOAc–hexane) after chromatography. In the crystal, the molecules form sheets parallel to the b axis, which are supported by non-classical hydrogen-bonding interactions between C—H functionalities and the O atom of morpholine and the 4-N atom of pyrazine, respectively.

Here we report the chemical synthesis and crystal structure of a new hybrid chloro-cadmium coordination polymer based on 4-amino-4H-1,2,4 triazole solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. With an unusual architecture, the crystal structure exhibits two distorted octahedral coordinations of CdII joined by edge sharing. The first is composed by four chlorine and two N atoms from the triazole ligands. The second is formed by five Cl atoms and by one N atom from the triazole ligand.

The title thiosemicarbazone compound features tetrahedrally coordinated ZnII atoms within N2S2 donor sets because of the presence of chelating thiosemicarbazone anions. Supramolecular chains are found in the crystal owing to the formation of thioamide-N—H⋯S(thione) hydrogen bonds and eight-membered thioamide {⋯HNCS}2 synthons.

In the title compound, two thiosulfate ions coordinate to the zinc(II) ion through the terminal S atoms. The tetrahedral coordination around the ZnII ion is completed by the ligation of two N atoms of two piperazinium ions. In the crystal, a network of N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds leads to the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.
