A novel mononuclear nickel complex coordinated by 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridine has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction techniques and photoluminescence spectroscopy. TDDFT calculations have been performed to rationalize the structure explored for this and a related polymeric Cu complex.

The title compounds both contain a central metal atom in a distorted octahedral geometry coordinated equatorially by four oxygen atoms from water molecules. In the MnII complex, the axial positions are occupied by a nitrogen atom from the ligand and an oxygen atom from the sulfate anion, whereas in the CdII complex they contain two nitrogen atoms from two different ligands and the sulfate anion only serves as the charge-balancing ion. π–π stacking between pyridine rings plays a crucial role in the molecular self-assembly of the two structures.

The title compound is constructed from two aromatic rings (3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl and 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl), which are linked by a C=C—C(=O)—C enone bridge and form a dihedral angle of 17.91 (17)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds enclosing rings of (14) graph-set motif to form layers parallel to (10).

The title compounds were synthesized using the Claisen–Schmidt condensation method and characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy. The geometrical parameters optimized using density functional theory (DFT) calculations show a good correlation with the experimental results. The small HOMO–LUMO energy gaps of 3.11 and 3.07 eV enhances the non-linear responses of these molecular systems.

2-Aminopyridine and citric acid mixed in 1:1 and 3:1 ratios in ethanol yielded crystals of two 2-aminopyridine citric acid salts, viz. C5H7N2+·C6H7O7− (I) and 3C5H7N2+·C6H5O73− (II). Salt I is formed by the protonation of the pyridine N atom and deprotonation of the central carboxylic group of the acid, while in II all three carboxylic groups of the acid are deprotonated and the charges are compensated for by three 2-aminopyridinium cations.

The asymmetric unit consists of a 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium cation and a 4-methylbenzoate anion. The protonated nitrogen and amino group nitrogen atoms are involved in hydrogen bonding with the sulfonate oxygen atoms through a pair of intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The inversion-related molecules are further linked by four N—H⋯O intermolecular interations to produce a complementary DDAA hydrogen-bonded array. Hirshfeld surface analysis was employed to further examine the intermolecular interactions.
