Accepted 28 August 2026

Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (Z)-2-({amino­[6-phenyl-3-(4-methylphen­yl)-1,2,4-triazin-5-yl]methyl­idene}amino)-6-meth­oxy­benzo[d]thia­zole-4,7-diyl di­acetate

In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by inter­molecular N—H⋯O inter­actions and π–\\p inter­actions [centroid–to-centroid distance = 3.8200 (12) Å], forming the ribbons along the b-axis direction.

Accepted 26 August 2026

Synthesis, crystal structure determination, Hirshfeld surface and crystal void analyses, inter­action energy calculations and energy frameworks of N-(2-methyl­phen­yl)-N′-pivaloyl­thio­urea

The asymmetric unit of the title compound comprises an ordered mol­ecule, consisting of methyl­phenyl and pivaloyl moieties attached to the N atoms of the central thio­urea entity.

Accepted 25 August 2026

Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 3-[5-(4-chloro­phen­yl)-2-sulfanyl­idene-1,3,4-oxa­diazol-3-yl]-3-(4-methyl­phen­yl)-1-(thio­phen-2-yl)propan-1-one

The asymmetric unit of the title mol­ecule contains a planar oxa­diazole, a thio­phene and two phenyl rings. In the crystal, π–π stacking inter­actions and C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions help to consolidate the packing.

Crystal structure of a hydrate of 1,3,5-substituted 2,4,6-tri­alkyl­benzene bearing hy­droxy­methyl and pyridinyl­amino groups

In the asymmetric unit, two mol­ecules of the 1,3,5-substituted 2,4,6-tri­alkyl­benzene and three water mol­ecules are connected by hydrogen bonds, forming well-defined complexes that constitute the smallest supra­molecular entities.

Accepted 24 August 2026

Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-(ethyl­sulfan­yl)-3-(2-methyl­prop­yl)-5,5-di­phenyl-4,5-di­hydro-3H-imidazol-4-one

In the title mol­ecule, the imidazolone ring is essentially planar and the inclinations of the planes of the two attached phenyl groups to its plane are distinctly different. There is a degree of π-delocalization in the ring about the tertiary nitro­gen which involves its lone pair. Directed inter­molecular inter­actions comprise C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and two sets of C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed.

Accepted 20 August 2026

Synthesis and structure of di­chlorido­{(E)-4-methyl-N′-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl­idene]benzohydrazide}zinc(II)

The ligand in the title complex was obtained by a condensation reaction between p-tolyl hydrazide and 2-acetyl­pyridine. The ligand mol­ecule bonds to the metal ion in a tridentate manner via its imino nitro­gen atom, its carbonyl oxygen atom, and the nitro­gen atom of the pyridine ring. In the extended structure, pairwise N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds generate inversion dimers and very weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions link the dimers into sheets.

Accepted 25 July 2026

Trigonal crystal structure of a phosphate belonging to the ABW-type zeolite family: RbCoFe(PO4)2

In the title phosphate, all of the cations are located on tetra­hedral sites, and the three different tetra­hedra are linked by their vertices to form a double layer stacked along the c-axis direction. The plane formed by the rubidium atoms is sandwiched between the double layers.
