Cover illustration: A new layered silicate, Cs2SnIVSi6O15, forms serendipitously at high temperature via attack of the reagents (CaO, SnO, TeO2) and flux (NaCl/CsCl) on the silica reaction vessel. For ease of comparison with its Zr-containing analogue, the structure is described using an unconventional space-group setting, I2/c. See: Ketter & Weil [Acta Cryst. (2022). E78, 111–113].

The title compound is a cyclo­butyl compound that adopts a Z configuration. The mol­ecular structure is stabilized by an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming an [S_{1}^{1}](7) ring motif. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by pairs of O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming supra­molecular ribbons linked via C11(9) ring motifs.

Ammonium chlorides, such as the title compound (S)-N-methyl-1-phenyl­ethan-1-amnonium chloride (1), usually represent by-products in amination processes of chloro­silanes. Hirshfeld surface analysis and Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) were performed to obtain detailed information about the crystal packing and the exact position of the hydrogen atoms of compound 1.

The quadruple-bond complex, [Mo2(p-O2CC6H4CF3)4·2THF], crystallizes in the triclinic space group P[\overline{1}] with inter­calated penta­ne/THF lattice solvent mol­ecules. The electron-withdrawing group on the paddlewheel carboxyl­ate together with the axial THF mol­ecules lead to a slight lengthening of the metal–metal bond, as predicted by Cotton.

N-methyl­ation of the perimidine core results in an increase of the inter­planar angle between the perimidine and aryl rings. The crystal packing of the unsubstituted perimidine is formed by hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking while mol­ecules of its N-substituted analog are assembled by C—H⋯π inter­actions.

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.
