Cover illustration: Bis­[hexa­aqua­hemi­aqua­penta­kis­(μ3-glycine­hydroxamato)sulfato­penta­copper(II)terbium(III)] sulfate hexa­hydrate, a new member of the 15-metallacrown-5 family containing copper(II), terbium(III) and glycinehydroxamate dianions has been synthesized and structurally characterized. These mixed lanthanide-transition metal assemblies are of interest for their physical properties (luminescence and the ability to behave as single-moleule magnets) and as building blocks for porous coordination polymers.

The metallamacrocyclic core of the discrete hexa­nuclear 15-metallacrown-5 complex [TbCu5(GlyHA)5(H2O)6.5(SO4)]2(SO4)·6H2O contains five copper(II) ions linked by five glycine­hydroxamate (GlyHA2–) dianions with a square-anti­prismatically octa­coordinate terbium(III) ion in the centre. The positive charge of the 15-metallacrown-5 [TbCu5(GlyHA)5]3+ core is compensated by bidentate and non-coordinated sulfate anions.

The structure of (C18H15Sb)3TeO6, contains a [TeO6] octa­hedral unit linked to three trigonal–bipyramidal [SbC3O2] units via pairs of bridging O atoms to form a discrete mol­ecular unit. The packing of the units is dominated by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding and weak dispersion forces, with a minor contribution from C—H⋯π bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions.

In the title compound, ring conformations in the tetra­cyclic system are twist, chair, half-chair and boat-chair forms. In the crystal, the inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules into a helical chain, and the inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions link the chains into a three-dimensional architecture.

Two structurally different metal–organic frameworks based on Sr2+ ions and 1,2,4,5-tetra­kis­(4-carb­oxy­phen­yl)benzene linkers have been synthesized solvothermally in different solvent systems, viz. poly[[μ12-4,4′,4′′,4′′′-(benzene-1,2,4,5-tetra­yl)tetra­benzoato](di­methyl­formamide)­distrontium(II)], [Sr2(C34H18O8)(C3H7NO)2]n, and poly[tetra­aqua­[μ2-4,5-bis­(4-carb­oxy­phen­yl)-4,4′-(benzene-1,2-di­yl)dibenzoato]tris­trontium(II)], [Sr3(C34H20O8)2(H2O)4]. The differences are noted between the crystal structures and coordination modes of these two MOFs, which are responsible for their semiconductor properties, where structural control over the bandgap is desirable.

The mol­ecular and crystal structures of the chloro­benzene solvate of fluorenonophane have been studied using X-ray diffraction analysis. The fluorenonophane contains two fluorenone fragments linked by two m-substituted benzene fragments. Some decrease in its macrocyclic cavity leads to a stacking inter­action between the tricyclic fluorenone fragments. In the crystal, the fluorenonophane and chloro­benzene mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.

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.
