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].

The copper(II) complex bis(acetato-κ2O,O′)(2-(phenylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazolyl)copper(II) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with the Cu2+ ion exhibiting a distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal packing features N—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions.
The title copper(II) complex, [Cu(C2H3O2)2(C14H12N2)2], was synthesized and structurally characterized. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with one molecule per asymmetric unit. The Cu2+ ion exhibits a distorted octahedral (4 + 2) coordination geometry. The crystal packing is consolidated by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that H⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H and O⋯H/H⋯O contacts are the major contributors to the crystal packing.

The two molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C17H16N2O, have a structural overlap with a root-mean-square deviation of 1.11 Å.
The two molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C17H16N2O, have a structural overlap with a root-mean-square deviation of 1.11 Å. Both seven-membered cycloheptene rings adopt a chair conformation. Reciprocal intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between neighbouring molecules lead to the consolidation of their molecular conformations. Weak C—H⋯π interactions between neighbouring molecules are also present in the crystal. The intermolecular interactions were quantified and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, revealing that H⋯H interactions contribute the most to the crystal packing (45.4%).

We share our pedagogical vision for a graduate-level small-molecule chemical crystallography in-class exercises and list our preferred textbooks, computer programs, and websites.
We present the practical curriculum of the graduate Chemical Crystallography course in the Department of Chemistry of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, outlining our favorite resources, texts, and software. The course relies on collaborative in-class student assignments that build up a knowledge base of fundamental crystallography and 37 hands-on structure solution and refinement exercises spanning structures of varying difficulty. Students begin solving and refining structures early in the course, following a ‘do first, understand second’ philosophy. The strong focus on data interpretation ensures that students gain the practical skills necessary for independent structural investigation and critical evaluation of the crystallographic literature.

In the title coordination polymer, μ2-N,P-bridging diphenyl(4-pyridyl)phosphane and O-bonded trifluoroacetate ligands generate centrosymmetric dinuclear AgI units that extend into a two-dimensional hcb coordination network.
The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ag(CF3CO2)(C17H14NP)] has been determined from synchrotron data (λ = 0.70000 Å). Centrosymmetric dinuclear Ag2O2 units, generated by inversion centers, extend into a two-dimensional coordination polymer linked by the N and P atoms of the bridged-bidentate (μ2) ligand. The resulting two-dimensional array can be described as a 63 (hcb) network.

The title compounds have different local symmetries but a consistent supramolecular motif of zigzag supramolecular ribbons propagating along the [100] direction linked by N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Various weak interactions consolidate both structures.
The first title compound, C10H7FN2OS, crystallizes in space group P1 with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, which form a dimer with an R22(8) motif through pairwise N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal of (I), N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds bind the dimers into zigzag ribbons running along the [100] direction, generating R44(14) motifs. The second title compound, C10H7ClN2OS (space group I2/a), contains one molecule in the asymmetric unit, which forms a dimer with an R22(8) motif via inversion symmetry. In the extended structure, the molecules form zigzag ribbons in the [100] direction by N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in consecutive R41(8)R21(5)R22(8)R21(5)R41(8) motifs. The Hirshfeld surface analyses of the compounds (I) and (II) indicates that the most important factors influencing the crystal packing are H⋯H interactions [21.1% for molecule A of (I), 20.3% for molecule B of (I) and 21.0% for (II)].

The second title compound, C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>7</sub>ClN<sub>2</sub>OS (space group <em>I</em>2/<em>a</em>), contains one molecule in the asymmetric unit, which forms a dimer with an <em>R</em><sup>2</sup><sub>2</sub>(8) motif <em>via</em> inversion symmetry. In the extended structure, the molecules form zigzag ribbons in the [100] direction by N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in consecutive <em>R</em><sup>4</sup><sub>1</sub>(8)<em>R</em><sup>2</sup><sub>1</sub>(5)<em>R</em><sup>2</sup><sub>2</sub>(8)<em>R</em><sup>2</sup><sub>1</sub>(5)<em>R</em><sup>4</sup><sub>1</sub>(8) motifs. The Hirshfeld surface analyses of the compounds (I) and (II) indicates that the most important factors influencing the crystal packing are H⋯H interactions [21.1% for molecule <em>A</em> of (I), 20.3% for molecule <em>B</em> of (I) and 21.0% for (II)].</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7367,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications","volume":"82 1","pages":"Pages 14-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145963194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The title compounds exhibit a consistent pattern of intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a C(7) zigzag chain propagating in the [010] direction in each case.
The syntheses and structures of (3aRS,4RS,9aSR)-3-oxo-2-(2-phenylethyl)-2,3,3a,4,9,9a-hexahydro-1H-benzo[f]isoindole-4-carboxylic acid, C21H21NO3 (I), (3aRS,4RS,9aSR)-3-oxo-2-(propan-2-yl)-2,3,3a,4,9,9a-hexahydro-1H-benzo[f]isoindole-4-carboxylic acid, C16H19NO3 (II) and (4RS)-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[f]isoindole-4-carboxylic acid, C19H15NO3 (III), are described. Compound (I) crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. In the extended structures of (I), (II) and (III) the molecules are linked by Oc—H⋯Oi (c = carboxylic acid, i = indole) hydrogen bonds, forming a common C(7) zigzag chain motif propagating along the [010] direction, despite the different local symmetries. These chains are connected by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions, forming a three-dimensional network in each case. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was undertaken to investigate and quantify the intermolecular interactions, which are dominated by H⋯H, C⋯H/H⋯C and O⋯H/H⋯O contacts in each case.
