Cover illustration: The synthesis and crystal structure of a new 3D coordination polymer, {[(PhCH2)3Sn]2Ni(CN)4}n, are described. This 3D metal–organic framework (MOF) can be considered the first example of a guest-free cyanometallate network with a topology analogous to a PtS net with the vertex symbol 42.84 and based exclusively on square-planar Ni(CN)4 nodes. See: Mothi Paul & Stoeckli-Evans [Acta Cryst. (2026). E82, 357–361].

In the title compound, the dihedral angle between the phenyl rings is 89.23 (5)°. In the crystal, the molecules are elongated along the c-axis direction and stacked along the b-axis direction. Neither intra- or intermolecular hydrogen bondings nor π–π interactiones are observed. The weak C—H⋯π(ring) interactions may help in the consolidation of the packing.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains two crystallographically independent ferrocenecarboxaldehyde molecules. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains along the b-axis direction. The hydrogen bonding, π–π, C—H⋯π(ring) and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing.

The title compound (Z)-3-{2-[(Z)-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-ylidene]hydrazinyl}-N-phenylbut-2-enamide monohydrate was synthesized and investigated using SCXRD. Except for the phenyl group, the molecule is almost planar, and includes an intramolecular Nhydrazinyl—H⋯(Ocarbonyl, Nquinoxaline) hydrogen-bond system. Hydrogen bonds combine to form a layer structure.

The title compound, [SmI2(C22H28O7)]·0.5C4H10O2 or Sm(dibenzo-21-crown-7)I2, was obtained as a minor product by layering dimethoxyethane solutions of SmI2 and dibenzo-21-crown-7. The asymmetric unit consists of one Sm(dibenzo-21-crown-7)I2 moiety and half a dimethoxyethane solvent molecule in the outer sphere.

The title cocrystal was obtained by the cocrystallization of 1-phenylsemicarbazide (A) and 1-phenylpyrazolidin-3-one (B) in a 1:1 molar ratio from methanol solution. The structure features a gauche arrangement about the N—N bond in the semicarbazide fragment and a twisted conformation of the pyrazolidinone ring. In the extended structure, the molecules are linked by A → A and B → A N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, supplemented by C—H⋯π contacts to generate a three-dimensional supramolecular framework.
