Cover illustration: A new solvatomorph has been obtained for the well-known non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug sodium naproxen crystallizing with 1.5 methanol molecules. The crystal packing contains two types of coordination polyhedra around sodium with coordination numbers of six and seven. Methanol molecules participate in these distorted polyhedra and in O-H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions with carboxylate O atoms. See: Krieger, Weil & Jones [Acta Cryst. (2018). E74, 1624-1627].

In the crystal, the NiII complex cation and fumarate anion are located on individual inverse centers and linked via O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title mol­ecule is comprised of two non-coplanar benzene rings connected by an imino group in a trans-configuration. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked via O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [101].

The title mol­ecule is composed of fused ten-, five- (lactone), and three-membered (epoxide) rings. The lactone ring shows a flattened envelope-type conformation and bears a 2-amino­benzyl­idene substituent that is disordered over two conformations. The ten-membered ring has an approximate chair–chair conformation. There are no conventional hydrogen bonds, but there are a number of weaker C—H⋯O-type inter­actions.

A new crystalline phase of the radical ion salt octa­methyl­ene­tetra­thia­fulvalenium triiodide is reported. The synthesis in THF, the crystal structure and the Hirshfeld surface analysis are described and the new modification, designated as δ-(OMTTF^\bullet+)(I3), is compared with the three previously known forms.

The crystal structures of four (E) -meth­oxy­benzaldehyde oxime derivatives, namely (2-meth­oxy­benzaldehyde oxime, 1, 2,3-di­meth­oxy­benzaldehyde oxime, 2, 4-di­meth­oxy­benzaldehyde oxime, 3, and 2,5-di­meth­oxy­benzaldehyde oxime, 4, are discussed. The arrangements of the 2-meth­oxy group and the H atom of the oxime unit are s-cis in compounds 13, but in both independent mol­ecules of compound 4, the arrangements are s-trans. The primary inter­molecular O—H(oxime)⋯O(hy­droxy) hydrogen bonds generate C(3) chains in 1 and 2. In contrast, in compound 3, the O—H(oxime)⋯O(hy­droxy) hydrogen bonds generate symmetric R_{2}^{2}(6) dimers. A more complex dimer is generated in 4 from the O—H(oxime)⋯O(hy­droxy) and C—H(2-meth­oxy)⋯O(hy­droxy) hydrogen bonds.

The crystal structure of [Cd(C13H18NO3)2(C12H8N2)] is non-centrosymmetric. Two complex mol­ecules with similar bond lengths and angles are present in the asymmetric unit, each exhibiting a distorted octa­hedral N4O2 coordination environment around the CdII ion.

The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol­ecules and two water mol­ecules. The central parts of both the mol­ecules are twisted as both mol­ecules are bent at both the S and N atoms. The crystal structure features N—H⋯N, N—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and O—H⋯O inter­molecular inter­actions. Two-dimensional fingerprint plots show that the largest contributions to the crystal stability come from O⋯H/H⋯O and H⋯H inter­actions.

In this condensed 1,4-di­hydro­pyridine derivative, which exhibits metabolism-regulating activity, the 1,4-di­hydro­pyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation while the cyclo­hexenone ring is in an envelope conformation. Mol­ecules in the crystal are assembled into chains along the a-axis direction via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, the dihedral angles between the 1-methyl indole units (A and B) and the benzoic acid moiety (C) are A/B = 64.87 (7), A/C = 80.92 (8) and B/C = 75.05 (8)°. An intra­molecular C—H⋯O inter­action arising from the methyne group helps to establish the conformation. In the crystal, R_{2}^{2}(8) carb­oxy­lic acid inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed.

Two independent samples of the title compound were studied using Cu Kα and Mo Kα radiation as part of a continuous crystallization study. In the crystal, chains along the a axis are formed via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between acetamide groups, as well as C—H⋯O inter­actions. These chains arrange themselves into parallel running stacks which display weak C—Cl⋯O=Chalogen bonding as well as weak C—H⋯π inter­actions.

The title mol­ecule adopts an s-cis configuration with respect to the C=O and C=C bonds. The dihedral angle between the indole ring system and the nitro-substituted benzene ring is 37.64 (16)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by O—-H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010]. In addition, weak C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions further link the structure into a three-dimensional network.

The title compound, C13H16N2O4, consists of a six-membered unsaturated ring bound to a five-membered pyrrolidine-2,5-dione ring and N-bound to a six-membered piperidine-2,6-dione ring and thus has the same basic skeleton as thalidomide, except for the six-membered unsaturated ring substituted for the aromatic ring.

In the mol­ecular structure of the title compound, two di­hydro­furan and two tetra­hydro­furan rings as well as one piperidine ring are fused together. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

The reaction of [IrIII{C(dppm)23P,C,P′}ClH(NH3C2)]Cl with ethyl diazo­acetate, a well known C=C coupling reagent, leads to the formation of a C=C unit, accompanied by N2 abstraction, and reorganization of a dppm subunit and, considered as a whole, to the transformation of the PCP pincer carbodi­phospho­rane system to a phospho­rus ylide ligand. After removal of the halogenides, the iridium center is stabilized by the carbonyl O atom through the formation of a five-membered chelate ring. A PCO pincer ligand system is thereby generated, which coordinates the iridium(III) atom threefold in a facial manner. The addition of carbon monoxide causes a replacement of the carbonyl O atom of the acetate subunit by a carbonyl ligand.

The di­hydro­qinoxalinone portion of the mol­ecule is planar to within 0.0512 (12) Å. In the crystal, a combination of C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds together with slipped π-stacking and C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions lead to the formation of chains extending along the c-axis direction. The chains are linked into layers parallel to the bc plane by sets of four C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and the layers are tied together by complementary π-stacking inter­actions.

The complex mol­ecules are linked into layers by inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding.
