Cover illustration: The present paper reports the crystal structure of the polymeric complex catena-poly[[methanoldioxidouranium(VI)]-μ-2-[5-(2-oxidophen­yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]acetato-κ2O:O′], [UO2L(CH3OH)]n, where H2L is the versatile ligand 5-(2-hy­droxy­phen­yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl acetic acid. Organic polydentate ligands capable of chelating uranyl ions are important for several applications, such as uranium waste management, recycling procedures and mining extraction processes. In the solid state, the compound shows a broad medium intensity LMCT transition centred around 463 nm, which is responsible for its red colour.

The title compound, {[Cd(3-apz2)]I2}n consists of a Cd2+ cation, iodine anions balancing the charge and bridging 3-amino­pyrazole (3-apz) mol­ecules. The Cd2+ cations are coordinated by two iodine anions and two apz ligands, generating trans-CdN4I2 octa­hedra, and are linked into chains by pairs of the bridging ligand. In the crystal structure, the apz ligands and iodide anions of neighboring chains are linked through inter­chain hydrogen bonding into a two-dimensional supra­molecular network.

The complex 2-[(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)meth­yl]pyridin-1-ium hexa­kis­(nitrato-O,O′)thorate was synthesized from layered solutions of Th(NO3)4·5H2O and 2-[(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)meth­yl]pyridine (L).

The structures of the four thio­glycosides, all Z-configured across the C=N(CN) moiety, differ in many important torsion angles. The C—N bond lengths at the central carbon atom of the carbamimido­thio­ate group are almost equal. Three of the four structures form layers by hydrogen bonding.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of two independent ion pairs of 4-(di­methyl­amino)­pyridin-1-ium quinolin-8-ol-5-sulfonate (HDMAP+·HqSA) and neutral N,N-di­methyl­pyridin-4-amine (DMAP), forming a 1:1:1 cation:anion:neutral mol­ecule co-crystal. The compound has a layered structure, including cation layers of HDMAP+ with DMAP and anion layers of HqSA in the crystal. The cation and anion layers are linked by inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions.

In [UO2L(CH3OH)]n, the acetate group of the 1,2,4-triazol-based ligand bridges two uranyl cations, forming a neutral zigzag chain. A solid-state LMCT transition at 463 nm is responsible for the light-red colour of the compound.

Mol­ecules of the aryl diester, 2-methyl-1,4-phenyl­ene bis­(3,5-di­bromo­benzoate), crystallized out from the melt (m.p. = 502 K/DSC). The crystal structure consists of a C—H⋯Br hydrogen-bonded network and weaker, offset π–π inter­actions.

Two inter­mediates, 4-amino-3,5-di­fluoro­benzo­nitrile, C7H4F2N2 (I), and ethyl 4-amino-3,5-di­fluoro­benzoate, C9H9F2NO2 (II), along with a visible-light-responsive azo­benzene derivative, diethyl 4,4′-(diazene-1,2-di­yl)bis­(3,5-di­fluoro­benzoate), C18H14F4N2O4 (III), obtained by four-step synthetic procedure, were studied using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystals of I and II, the mol­ecules are connected by N—H⋯N, N—H⋯F and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, C—H⋯F short contacts, and π-stacking inter­actions. In the crystal of III, only stacking inter­actions between the mol­ecules are found.

In the title mol­ecule, C11H11BrO3, the di­hydro­indene moiety is essentially planar but with a slight twist in the saturated portion of the five-membered ring. The meth­oxy groups lie close to the above plane. In the crystal, π-stacking inter­actions between six-membered rings form stacks of mol­ecules extending along the a-axis directions, which are linked by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds.

The [RuBr6]2− anionic complex has an octa­hedral structure. The Ru—Br distances fall in the range 2.4779 (4)–2.4890 (4) Å. The S—S and C—S distances are 2.0282 (12) and 1.783 (2) Å, respectively. The H2O mol­ecules, Br ions, and NH2 groups of the cation are linked by hydrogen bonds.

The structures of seven complexes of general formula LAuX3 (L = methyl­pyridines or di­methyl­pyridines, X = Cl or Br) are presented. In the crystal packing, a frequent feature is the offset-stacked and approximately rectangular dimeric moiety (Au—X)2, linked by Au⋯X contacts.

The title mol­ecule has a twisted conformation and is connected with its neighbours by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, π–π and Br–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.
