Cover illustration: Coordination compounds of triazole-containing ligands and transition-metal ions have been studied over the past years because of their possible applications in the fields of molecular magnetism, catalysis, electrochemistry, or cluster engineering, to cite just a few. This paper reports the synthesis and crystal structure of a new homobinuclear iron(II) complex, μ-oxa­lato-bis­{bis­[3-methyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole]iron(II)} bis­(toluene­sulfonate) 2.75-hydrate, [Fe2(C2O4)(C8H8N4)4](CH3C6H4SO3)2·2.75H2O, with the chelating ligand 3-methyl-5-(pyrid-2-yl)-2H-1,2,4-triazole, in which the binuclearity is obtained through a bridging oxalate anion.

Mol­ecules in the crystal are connected along the c-axis direction by C—Br⋯π inter­actions, resulting in zigzag chains parallel to the (010) plane. C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions further connect the mol­ecules, forming a three-dimensional network and reinforcing the mol­ecular packing.

The crystal structure of Sr9La2(WO6)4 can be derived on the basis of the double-perovskite structure type. [WO6] octa­hedra and [(Sr/La)Ox] polyhedra are alternately placed in a distorted simple lattice with an additional vacancy (□).

In the title mol­ecule, C27H27NO, the naphthalene and quinoline groups are both planar and subtend a dihedral angle of 15.47 (7)°. They are nearly coplanar with the cis-vinyl bridge and the hex­yloxy chain, which adopts an all-trans conformation, resulting in transannular bifurcated intra­molecular C—H⋯N,O contact. The crystal structure features γ-packing of the aromatic moieties, while the parallel packing of alkyl chains resembles that of alkanes.

The different intra and inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding inter­actions in the crystal structure of the title salt are discussed.

In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected into parallel layers via N—H⋯N, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the solvent di­methyl­formamide mol­ecule, and C—H⋯π inter­actions, into layers parallel to (001). van der Waals inter­actions between the layers ensure the stability of the mol­ecular packing.

The title complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 with two mol­ecules of the receptor, and two NH4+ and two PF6 ions in the asymmetric unit. In each of the complexes, the ammonium ion resides in the cavity of the receptor mol­ecule and is fixed in its position by three N—H⋯N bonds, while the remaining hydrogen atom of the cation acts as a bifurcated binding site for N—H⋯F bonding to the counter-anion.

C—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect mol­ecules in the crystal, generating layers parallel to the (100) plane with [R_{4}^{1}](6) and C(7) graph-set motifs. C—H⋯π inter­actions help to reinforce this layered mol­ecular structure.

The title compound, Ba3[Sn(OH)6][SeO4]2·3H2O, was prepared by mimicking geochemical crystallization processes, and the hexa­gonal crystal structure determined. Its hierarchical structure comes from four different primary building units, setting up secondary building units that are arranged into layers via their {BaO9} coordination polyhedra and cross-linked with the SBUs of adjacent layers via common [Sn(OH)6]2− ions.

The crystal packing is stabilized by intra- and inter­molecular hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯π contacts.

In 2-amino-4-(4-bromo­phen­yl)-6-oxo-1-phenyl-1,4,5,6-tetra­hydro­pyridine-3-carbo­nitrile hemihydrate, pairs of mol­ecules of are joined by pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, producing a dimer with an [R_{2}^{2}](12) ring pattern. Further N—H⋯Br and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, as well as C—Br⋯π inter­actions, link the dimers, producing layers parallel to the (010) plane. In the crystal of 1,6-di­amino-2-oxo-4-phenyl-1,2-di­hydro­pyridine-3,5-dicarbo­nitrile, mol­ecules are joined into layers parallel to (001) via inter­molecular N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These layers are joined along the c axis by weak C—H⋯N contacts. Additionally, C—H⋯π and C—N⋯π inter­actions link nearby mol­ecules, producing chains along the a axis.

Two new salts of the 4-(4-nitro­phen­yl)piperazin-1-ium cation have been prepared by co-crystallization with aromatic carb­oxy­lic acids. The supra­molecular assembly in the benzoate salt, which crystallizes as a mono-hydrate, is two dimensional, while that in the 2-carb­oxy-4,6-di­nitro­phenolate salt is three dimensional.

The thia­zole ring is planar while the pyrimidine unit fused to it adopts a screw-boat conformation In the crystal, N—H⋯N plus C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds form helical chains along the b-axis direction, which are linked into thick sheets parallel to the bc plane by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions between the formamido carbonyl groups and the thia­zole rings.

The complex cation of the title compound contains a tetra­gonally distorted trans-CuN4O2 octa­hedron. In the crystal, the components are linked by numerous N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming electroneutral sheets oriented parallel to the ac plane, which are further consolidated into bilayers due to hydrogen-bonding with the participation of the water mol­ecule of crystallization.

The asymmetric unit consists of two independent mol­ecules differing in the orientation of the azido group. Each mol­ecule forms N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded chains extending along the c-axis direction with its symmetry-related counterparts. The chains are connected by C—F⋯π(ring), C=O⋯π(ring) and slipped π-stacking inter­actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of these inter­actions was performed.

The title mol­ecule adopts a V-shaped conformation and contains an intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form chains of mol­ecules extending along the c-axis direction, which pack with normal van der Waals contacts.

The asymmetric unit contains three independent mol­ecules differing slightly in conformation. Portions of the observed conformations are determined by intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form chains of mol­ecules which are linked into corrugated sheets parallel to ([\overline{1}]03) by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds together with π inter­actions between the carbonyl groups and 2-hy­droxy­phenyl rings. The layers are linked by further C—H⋯O 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.
