Cover illustration: A new trinuclear NiII complex, tris([mu]2-2-meth­oxy-6-{[(2-sulfido­eth­yl)imino]meth­yl}phenolato)trinickel(II) di­methyl­formamide monosolvate, in which each NiII ion is coordinated by two S, one N and one O atom in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination has been characterized by X-ray diffraction. The complex has a bowl shape and crystallizes with one molecule of dimethylformamide in the asymmetric unit. The crystal packing features C-H...O hydrogen bonding and C-H...[pi] interactions, a short C-H...Ni contact as well as [pi]-[pi] interactions. The complex has antibacterial activity, especially against Acinetobacter baumannii. See: Rusanova, Kokozay & Pokas [Acta Cryst. (2019). E75, 616-619].

Sublimation in vacuo slightly above room temperature gave crystals of the P-chloro-functionalized saturated six-membered N-heterocyclic title compound 1,3-di-tert-butyl-2-chloro-1,3,2-di­aza­phospho­rinane. In the crystal, no inter­actions stronger than van der Waals forces are found between the mol­ecules that neither suffer from chair conformation disorder nor from rotational disorder of the tert-butyl groups. Characteristic structural features are the partial flattening of the `cyclo­hexane-chair' conformation at the heteroatom side of the six-membered ring and the length of the weakened P—Cl bond [2.2869 (6) Å].
