Cover illustration: 4-[(Morpholin-4-yl)carbothioyl]benzoic acid, C12H13NO3S, a novel phen­yl (morpholino)methane­thione derivative, represents the first crystal structure for which all experimental work (synthesis, crystallization, data collection, structure solution and refinement) was performed in Benin. This important result for Crystallography in Africa is a product of the first crystallographic training session at the X-TechLab in Sèmè City, organized within the IUCr-UNESCO OpenLab framework.

The title compound consists of pyrrole and benzodiazepine units linked to a propargyl moiety, where the pyrrole and diazepine rings adopt half-chair and boat conformations, respectively. In the crystal, weak C—HBnz⋯ODiazp and C—HProprg⋯ODiazp (Bnz = benzene, Diazp = diazepine and Proprg = proparg­yl) hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into two-dimensional networks parallel to the bc plane, enclosing R_{4}^{4}(28) ring motifs.

In the crystal of the title compound, the packing is driven by O—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and N—H⋯N hydrogen-bond inter­actions along with π–π stacking inter­actions.

In the title compound, C13H15N3O5S, the two rings face each other in a `V′ form at the S atom, with one N—H⋯O=S and one C—H⋯O=S contact from the pyrazolyl substituents to the sulfonyl group. Two classical hydrogen bonds from the amine group, one of the form N—H⋯O=S and one N—H⋯O=Coxo, link the mol­ecules to form layers parallel to the bc plane.

The title compound is an example of an ortho-vanillin-based functionalized di­thio­ether, which could be useful as a potential chelating ligand or bridging ligand for coordination chemistry. Its crystal structure was determined at 100 K. Both weak intra­molecular O—H⋯O and inter­molecular O—H⋯S hydrogen bonding can be observed.

A one-dimensional nickel(II) coordination polymer with the mixed ligands 6-fluoro­nicotinate (6-Fnic) and 4,4′-bi­pyridine (4,4′-bpy), namely, [Ni(H2O)2(6-Fnic)2(4,4′-bpy)·3H2O]n, (1), was prepared. The nickel(II) ion in 1 is octa­hedrally coordinated by the O atoms of two water mol­ecules, two O atoms from O-monodentate 6-fluoro­nicotinate ligands and two N atoms from bridging 4,4′-bi­pyridine ligands.

The crystal structures of praseodymium silicide (5/4), Pr5Si4, and neodymium silicide (5/4), Nd5Si4, were redetermined at higher precision. These compounds are confirmed to have the tetra­gonal Zr5Si4-type structure (space group: P41212). The structure is built up by distorted body-centered cubes consisting of Pr(Nd) atoms, which are linked to each other by edge-sharing to form a three-dimensional framework. Silicon dimers are located within channels in this framework.

The hydrazide-hydrazone forms inverse dimers via hydrogen bonding, but its conformation is defined by the presence of an intra­molecular chalcogen bond. Electrostatic forces dominate in the crystal packing and give rise to a layered supra­molecular structure.

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.
