Cover illustration: Polyoxometallates (POMs) show a wide variety of applications and can be used to synthesize new hybrid organic-inorganic materials. The crystal structure of hexa­kis­(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) hepta­molybdate 2-methyl-1H-imidazole disolvate dihydrate contains an [Mo7O24]6- anion, six (C4H7N2)6+ cations, two neutral C4H6N2 molecules and two water molecules of crystallization in the asymmetric unit. The components are linked by O-H...O, N-H...O, N-H...N and weak C-H...O interactions. See: Sarr, Mbaye, Diallo, Diop, Sidibe & Michaud [Acta Cryst. (2019). E75, 1001-1004].

The asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent mol­ecules in which the dihedral angles between the benzene rings are 13.26 (5) and 7.87 (5)°. An intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds results in the formation of an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to (011). π–π stacking inter­actions complete the three-dimensional network.

The reaction of the ligand di­pyridyl­phosphine with (Re(CO)3(OC4H8)Br)2 followed by crystallization in chloro­form leads to [κ2-P,N-{(C6H5)2(C5H5N)P}Re(CO)3Br]·2CHCl3. Reaction of this complex with piperidine leads to partial decoordination of the 2-pyridyl­phosphine in the product, [P-{(C6H5)2(C5H5N)P}(C5H11N)Re(CO)3Br], which displays an intra­molecular hydrogen bond between the piperidine aminic hydrogen atom and the uncoordinated pyridyl group, with DA = 2.992 (9) Å.

The title compounds have the glaserite structure type. The DyO6 or GdO6 octa­hedra share their three six vertices with six VO4 tetra­hedra, three of which are upward and the other three down. The remaining cations are localized between the sheets resulting from the tetra­hedra-octa­hedra linkage via common vertices.

The first main-group-metal–prehnitene π complexes have been obtained in form of the isotypic pair {[{1,2,3,4-(CH3)4C6H2}2Sn2Cl2][MCl4]2}x (M = Al, Ga) and crystal structure determinations thereof give strong evidence that a distorted η6 coordination mode, characterized by a small but significant ring slippage of ca 0.4 Å as well as a pronounced tilt of the plane of the arene ligand against the plane of the central (Sn2Cl2)2+ four-membered ring species, is an intrinsic feature of this kind of arene complexed dimeric chlorido­stannylene cation. Application of the bond-valence method in a indirect manner yields empirical bond valences of 0.38 and 0.37, respectively, which allow for classifying the metal–π-arene bonding as a strong non-covalent inter­action, which is in line with the expectation that [AlCl4] is the slightly weaker coordinating anion as compared to [GaCl4].

Research communications

Research communications are designed to help authors bring out the science behind their structure determinations. Authors are encouraged to report more than one structure in the same communication and also to include the results of investigations with other techniques. The Research communications format makes Acta E the natural home for structure determinations with interesting science to report.
