Cover illustration: Lanthanum telluride (LaTe1.9) crystals are twinned by reticular merohedry with twin index 5. The resulting layered structure is a tenfold ([\sqrt5]×[\sqrt5]×2) superstructure of stacked, puckered LaTe slabs interspersed with planar Te-deficient layers. See: Poddig & Doert [Acta Cryst. (2022). E78, 559–562].

The crystal structure of LaTe1.9 (CeSe1.9 structure type; space group P42/n) was determined from a twinned crystal. LaTe1.9 features puckered [LaTe] slabs and planar [Te] layers consisting of Te22− and Te2− anions.

The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol­ecules having opposite conformations and each forming self-dimers through complementary O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These dimers are linked by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions involving the phenyl ring and the olefinic double bond into zigzag chains extending along the c-axis direction. The chains are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form the full three-dimensional structure in which one can discern layers parallel to the bc plane.

In the crystal, O—H⋯O, C—H⋯O, and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect mol­ecules, generating mol­ecular layers parallel to (100). These layers are linked together by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions and van der Waals forces.

By an oxidative synthesis in aqueous tri­fluoro­acetic acid, the mixed ammonium/oxonium crystalline solid [(NH4)1–x(H3O)x]2[Yb6F8(O2CCF3)12(H2O)4]·4H2O is obtained from ytterbium(II) tri­fluoro­acetate. It is the first example of a substance containing an octa­hedro-hexa­nuclear ytterbium(III) complex with μ3-face-capping fluorido ligands and comprises an unusual kind of substitutional disorder. The effects of the disordered cation position on the coordination of additional O,O′-bridging carboxyl­ato and aqua ligands are discussed in detail.

The coordination polyhedra of the zinc(II) ions in the complex cation and the anion of the title compound, viz. trans-ZnN4O2, are distorted octa­hedra. In the crystal, the hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between the N—H groups of the tetra­amine, the acidic groups of the anion and coordinated water mol­ecules result in formation of one-dimensional tapes running along the [1[\overline{1}]0] direction, which are further arranged in sheets lying parallel to the (001) plane.

The title com­pound, isolated from the Chloranthus japonicus Sieb., is a typical lindenane-type sesquiterpenoid. Hirshfeld surface analysis illustrates that the most important contributions are from O⋯H/H⋯O contacts (34.6%).

Two new crystalline salts, namely, hypoxanthinium bromide monohydrate, C5H5N4O+·Br·H2O (I) and xanthinium bromide monohydrate, C5H5N4O2+·Br·H2O (II), were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique and Hirshfeld surface analysis. The hypoxanthinium and xanthinium cations in salts I and II are both in the oxo-N(9)–H tautomeric form. The crystal packing of the two salts is governed predominantly by N—H⋯O, N—H⋯Br, C—H⋯Br and O—H⋯Br inter­actions described by [R_{3}^{2}](9) and [R_{2}^{2}](8) synthons.

One of the 1,3-di­hydro-2H-indol-2-one units is in an axial position, while the other is in a bis­ectional position relative to the central five-membered cyclo­pentene ring. The methyl methanimidate unit is in an equatorial position. The crystal structure is consolidated by inter­molecular N—H⋯N, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, forming a three-dimensional network.

In the crystal, hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between the 2,4,6-tri­amino­pyrimidine cation and the nitrate anions lead to a one-dimensional supra­molecular network with weak anionic inter­actions forming a three-dimensional network. Energy framework analysis showed that of the components of the framework energies, electrostatic repulsion (Erep) is dominant.

Neighbouring stacks are linked by hydrogen bonds between the amine H atoms of the 1-amino­pyrene mol­ecule with the adjacent carbonyl oxygen atom of the 4,6-di­acetyl­resorcinol mol­ecule.

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.
