Various compounds involving tri­alkyl­phosphane chalcogenides (or their derivatives) and palladium or platinum dihalides were structurally characterized and their intra- and inter­molecular inter­actions and metrical parameters were analysed. General comments on the SFAC command are also included.

A new mebendazolium di­hydrogen phosphate phospho­ric acid solid compound was obtained. As expected, the mebendazolium cation and the di­hydrogen phosphate anion assemble in the solid state in an R22(8) hydrogen-bond-driven supra­molecular motif.

In the title compound, the dihedral angle between the chromen-2-one ring system and the bromo­benzene ring is 10.29 (6)°. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected through C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Co(C12H6O6)(H2O)4]·2C3H7NO}n or {[Co(H2dondc)(H2O)4]·2DMF}n, comprises half of a CoII ion, half of a 1,5-di­hydroxy­naphthalene-2,6-di­carboxyl­ate dianion (H2dondc2−), two water mol­ecules and a di­methyl­formamide (DMF) mol­ecule. The key feature of the structure is a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network that consists of one-dimensional (1D) coordination chains built up by CoO6 octa­hedra bridged by H2dondc2− ligands and inter­chain O–H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions.

The title mol­ecule was studied by single-crystal X-ray analysis to determine its mol­ecular structure and investigate the inter­actions present. Theoretical (obtained by DFT) and experimental parameters were compared. In addition, Hirshfeld surface analysis and mol­ecular docking studies were performed for the title compound as a ligand and the SARS-Covid-2 (PDB ID:8BEC) protein, specifically the Omicron variant.

Both compounds crystallized from a saturated solution in THF by slow vapour diffusion of n-hexane in the monoclinic space group P21/c. While the two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit of 1,1′,1′′-[(2-iodo­eth­oxy)methane­tri­yl]tri­benzene show no close contacts to other mol­ecules, in the structure of 1,1′,1′′-[(2-bromo­eth­oxy)methane­tri­yl]tri­benzene the mol­ecules inter­act with each other by C—H⋯π contacts.

Methyl­ation of the natural product macluraxanthone yielded its meth­oxy analog, which was characterized by a suite of spectroscopic and crystallographic techniques.

The title compound was produced by the reaction between 3,4-di­cyano­thio­phene and 2-pyridyl­selenyl chloride and isolated as a salt that crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1. Notable features include strong chalcogen inter­actions (Se⋯Cl and Se⋯S), as revealed through Hirshfeld surface analysis, which also highlights significant contributions from N⋯H/H⋯N, C⋯H/H⋯C and H⋯H contacts in the crystal packing.

The crystal structures of five fluorinated diphenidine mol­ecules obtained as their hydro­chloride salts are reported.

The title pyrazole derivative, which exhibits multiple inter­molecular non-covalent inter­actions, was synthesized by the reaction of 3-(tri­fluoro­meth­yl)-1H-pyrazole with chloro­(4-chloro­phen­yl)methyl­ene)di­benzene in the presence of K2CO3 in tetra­hydro­furan.

The crystal structure of the insecticide/acaricide etoxazole is presented along with a Hirshfeld surface analysis of inter­molecular inter­actions present in the crystal structure.

Compounds 1 and 2 are similar coordination polymers of bibromide bridged chains of CuII ions with 3,5-disubstituted pyridine mol­ecules in the axial sites. The chains lie parallel to the a axis and are linked into a tri-periodic network via non-classical hydrogen bonds.

The mol­ecular and crystal structures of the coordination compound [Co(tsc)3]2[Co(cit)2](NO3)4·4H2O are reported. Fingerprint plots were generated to investigate various inter­molecular inter­actions.

Charge-assisted chalcogen bonds with Se⋯Cl separations of 2.883 (2) and 3.030 (2) Å aggregate the title compound into a supra­molecular dimer.

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.
