The title compound [Fe(C21H13N3S)(CO)(PMe3)2] exhibits a square-pyramidal geometry, distinct from the trigonal–bipyramidal geometry in [Fe(C21H13N3S)(CO)3], due to the σ-donating properties of the two trimethylphosphane ligands. An increase in π-back-donation from the electron-rich iron center to the pyridazine moiety was also confirmed.
The title compound, [Fe(C21H13N3S)(CO)(PMe3)2] (2), bearing a 3-(dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-4-yl)-6-(pyridin-2-yl)pyridazine ligand was obtained by the reaction of [Fe(C21H13N3S)(CO)3] (1) with [Fe(PMe3)4]. Crystal structure analysis of 2 revealed that the N,N-bidentate and three monodentate ligands form a five-coordinate square-pyramidal geometry around Fe, which differs from the trigonal–bipyramidal geometry observed in 1. The steric and electronic factors were investigated by combining crystal structure and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Compared with CO, the better σ donor properties of PMe3 induce the square-pyramidal geometry of 2, and a significant π-back-bonding interaction was confirmed between Fe and the pyridazine moiety.

The crystal structure of a new complex between the theophylline ligand and palladium has been elucidated.
An air-stable palladium bis(benzyltheophylline) complex, [PdCl2(C14H14N4O2)2]·0.5H2O, was synthesized from 7-benzyltheophylline and palladium dichloride. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the complex adopts a centrosymmetric structure in which two theophylline ligands coordinate to the square-planar PdII center through N atoms on the imidazole ring. The crystal structure contains water molecules located at partially occupied sites (occupancy = 1/4). A notable structural feature is that the fused purine ring system of each ligand is oriented nearly perpendicular to the square-planar PdII coordination plane. In addition, the pendant phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to the fused purine ring plane, as indicated by the large torsion angle around the C5—N4—C8—C9 linkage [84.1 (2)°]. These geometric characteristics highlight the steric influence exerted by the benzyltheophylline ligand on the metal coordination environment.

Bis(4-phenylbutan-2-one-κ2O,O′)copper(II) (P21/n) features an almost ideal square-planar CuO4 core and forms offset chains along [011] consolidated by π–π, weak π–metal and C—H⋯O contacts. Hirshfeld analysis shows dominant H⋯H contacts (54.8%); DFT (UB3LYP, ECP on Cu) gives HOMO/LUMO = −6.19/−1.83 eV (ΔE = 4.36 eV), consistent with mixed MLCT/ligand-centered transitions and high electronic stability.
In the title compound, [Cu(C10H9O2)2], which crystallizes in space group P21/n, the central CuII ion is four-coordinate and closely approaches an ideal square-planar geometry: Cu—O = 1.9173 (18)–1.920 (2) Å, O—Cu—O = 93.34 (7)°, τ4 = 0.00, CShM(square-planar) = 0.085. The crystal packing features offset chains along [011] consolidated by π–π interactions [Cg⋯Cg = 3.1293 (1) Å], weak π–metal contacts [Cg⋯Cu = 3.390 (2) Å], and C—H⋯O contacts; Hirshfeld surface analysis shows dominant H⋯H contacts (54.8%), followed by H⋯C (18.8%) and O⋯H (11.3%). DFT (UB3LYP, ECP on Cu) yields E(HOMO) = −6.19 eV, E(LUMO) = −1.83 eV, ΔE = 4.36 eV; the HOMO has a significant metal contribution while the LUMO is ligand π* in character, indicating mixed metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT)/ligand-centered transitions and high electronic stability.

Bis(2-bromoethanamminium) hexabromidostannate(IV) is a hybrid tin perovskite with 0D topology due to the presence of isolated octahedral [SnBr6]2– anions.
In the hybride title salt, (C2H7BrN)2[SnBr6], the charge of the anionic [SnBr6]2− moiety is balanced by two (H3N(CH2)2Br)+ cations. The tin(IV) atom is located on a mirror plane and has a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment. The inorganic octahedra are discrete, thus leading to a 0D topology within the crystal structure. The two crystallographically unique organic cations have different conformations: while one has a gauche conformation, the other has an anti conformation, both without special symmetry but with positional disorder over the crystallographic mirror plane. Contacts between organic and inorganic parts in the crystal structure are ensured by N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and weak Br⋯Br and C—H⋯Br interactions.

The title compound crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, which are connected into chains by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
The title compound [systematic name: N-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl)pyridine-4-carboxamide], C12H5F5N2O, crystallizes with two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit in space group P1. The molecules adopt a conformation where the planes of the pentafluorophenyl and pyridyl rings have twist angles of 5.3 (1) and 14.5 (1)°. In the crystal, the molecules are connected by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the amide H atom and the pyridyl nitrogen atom of an adjacent molecule to generate [110] chains of alternating A and B molecules. The packing is consolidated by C—H⋯π interactions, π–π stacking and C—H⋯O interactions and a short F⋯F contact of 2.7270 (13) Å occurs. The structures of related isonicotinamides are surveyed.

The isotypic strontium analogue of the mineral henmilite, Sr2Cu(OH)4[B(OH)4]2, displays a quasi two-dimensional spin system with CuII ions.
Single crystals of distrontium copper(II) tetrahydroxide bis(tetrahydroxidoborate), Sr2Cu(OH)4[B(OH)4]2, were obtained by an ammonia evaporation method at room temperature. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1, and is isotypic with the calcium analogue henmilite, Ca2Cu(OH)4[B(OH)4]2. The {Cu(OH)4} units form a deformed square lattice in the ac plane, giving rise to a quasi-two-dimensional arrangement of CuII ions. An intricate network of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds of medium strengths with the [B(OH)4] units as the primary donor groups consolidate the framework structure.

The crystal structures of a solvated and an unsolvated dithiocarbazate imine derivatives are compared and contrasted.
The syntheses and structures of 2-fluorobenzyl (Z)-2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazine-1-carbodithioate dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate, C16H12FN3OS2·C2H6OS (1) and 2-fluorobenzyl (Z)-2-(5-bromo-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazine-1-carbodithioate, C16H11BrFN3OS2 (2) are reported. Both structures feature a Z-configuration with respect to the C=N bond and the fluorobenzyl ring is approximately orthogonal to the isatin moiety. For 1, the crystal packing features weak Car—H⋯S (ar = aromatic) hydrogen bonds that link adjacent molecules in a C(10) fashion to form pleated chains propagating along [001] and short S⋯O contacts between dimethyl sulfoxide solvent molecules forming chains along [010]. The N—H hydrogen bond donors in 1 form either intramolecular or discrete N—H⋯O(DMSO) hydrogen bonds. In 2, alternating R22(8)-type pairwise N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and short F⋯Br contacts link the molecules into chains propagating along [210]. The later unsolvated structure is of notably poorer quality and exhibits disorder in its o-fluorobenzyl group, with a 180° flip and a small twist around the S—C bond. These findings are consistent with the results of Hirshfeld surface analyses.

The crystal structure of the complex tetrachloridobis(1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-4-ium-κN3)iron(II) has been determined. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system and shows an octahedral coordination environment around the Fe centre.
The title coordination complex tetrachloridobis(1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-4-ium-κN3)iron(II), [FeCl4(C6H6N3)2] or [FeCl4(LH)2], was synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1. The iron atom (site symmetry
) is hexa-coordinated, adopting a slightly distorted octahedral geometry defined by two 1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridinium ligands and four chloride anions. In the crystal, N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds generate two-dimensional layers parallel to the ab plane, while the three-dimensional supramolecular framework is further consolidated by C—H⋯Cl interactions. In addition, π–π stacking interactions contribute to the overall cohesion of the crystal structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates the significance of various intermolecular contacts in the crystal packing, with major contributions from Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (43.2%), H⋯H (22.5%), C⋯H/H⋯C (16.4%), H⋯N/N⋯H (4.4%), N⋯C/C⋯N (3.7%), C⋯C (3.6%), Cl⋯N/N⋯Cl (3.2%), Cl⋯C/C⋯Cl (2.4%), and N⋯N (0.6%) interactions.

In the title RuII complex, a meridionally bound 4,4′,4′′-tris(methoxycarbonyl)terpyridine and a dimethoxyphenylphosphine ligand define a distorted trans-RuN3PCl2 octahedral coordination environment, and water molecules of crystallization bridge pairs of complex molecules into discrete hydrogen-bonded dimers.
In the title compound, [RuCl2(C21H17N3O6)(C8H11O2P)]·H2O, the RuII atom is coordinated by three N atoms of a meridionally bound 4,4′,4′′-tris(methoxycarbonyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine ligand, a phosphinite P donor and two chloride ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. The Ru—N distances lie in the range 1.996 (2)–2.078 (2) Å, with a Ru—P distance of 2.2879 (9) Å and Ru—Cl distances of 2.3713 (8) and 2.4191 (8) Å; the N—Ru—N bite angles are 78.59 (9) and 79.10 (9)°, with an N—Ru—N angle of 157.30 (9)° within the terpyridine chelate. The methyl ester groups adopt conformations that minimize steric interactions with the phosphinite phenyl ring and provide potential anchoring sites in the corresponding carboxylic acid dye. In the crystal, pairs of complex molecules are linked into discrete hydrogen-bonded dimers by the water molecule of crystallization: one H atom forms an O—H⋯O contact to a methyl carbonyl O atom [H⋯O = 2.17 Å] and the other H atom forms an O—H⋯Cl contact to a trans chloride ligand of a neighbouring complex [H⋯Cl = 2.40 Å].
