Depending on their water content, the two phosphates Na3(PO4)(H2O)n (n = 6, 7) exhibit different cross-linking of the polyhedra around the sodium cations, namely in the form of layers (n = 7) or a three-dimensional framework (n = 6).
The crystal structures of the long-known compound Na3(PO4)(H2O)6, trisodium orthophosphate hexahydrate, and the compound Na3(PO4)(H2O)7, trisodium orthophosphate heptahydrate, the possible existence of which is discussed in the literature, were elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In both crystal structures, all the water molecules are bound to the sodium cations, but the different water content leads to different arrangements in terms of polyhedral linkage. In the case of the heptahydrate (space group Pca21, Z = 4), this results in a layered structure made up from three sixfold coordinated Na+ cations with phosphate units in between. In the case of the hexahydrate (space group P1, Z = 4), a three-dimensional network is realised by one fivefold and five sixfold coordinated Na+ cations, in which the phosphate units are embedded in the voids. In both crystal structures, the water molecules are involved in complex O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding networks and form moderately strong hydrogen bonds on average, almost exclusively with the phosphate O atoms. It is noteworthy that some O atoms accept up to five such bonds.
根据其含水量的不同,两种磷酸盐Na3(PO4)(H2O)n (n = 6,7)在钠离子周围表现出不同的多面体交联,即以层(n = 7)或三维框架(n = 6)的形式。用单晶x射线衍射分析了已知化合物Na3(PO4)(H2O)6正磷酸三钠六水合物和Na3(PO4)(H2O)7正磷酸三钠七水合物的晶体结构,并对其存在的可能性进行了讨论。在这两种晶体结构中,所有的水分子都与钠离子结合,但不同的含水量导致多面体键的排列方式不同。在七水合物(空间基团Pca21, Z = 4)的情况下,这导致层状结构由三个六倍配位的Na+阳离子组成,中间有磷酸单元。在六水合物(空间群P1, Z = 4)的情况下,一个三维网络是由一个五倍和五个六倍配位的Na+阳离子实现的,其中磷酸盐单元嵌入在空隙中。在这两种晶体结构中,水分子都参与了复杂的O - h⋯O氢键网络,平均形成中等强度的氢键,几乎完全与磷酸O原子。值得注意的是,一些O原子接受多达5个这样的键。

The newly synthesized compound (l-HisH2)CuI3·H2O (where l-HisH2 = l-histidinium) possesses a rare one-dimensional A2CuX3-type structure built from chiral left-handed helical chains of corner-sharing [CuI4] tetrahedra. Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analyses reveal that hydrogen bonding and π⋯I interactions play a vital role in mediating the interactions between the organic and inorganic components of this compound. Distortion analysis using τ4, τ4’, and Baur indices shows that this compound exhibits the lowest [CuI4] tetrahedral distortion among reported analogues.
The title compound, {(C6H11N3O2)[CuI3]·H2O}n or (l-HisH2)CuI3·H2O (1), is a chiral organic–inorganic compound that crystallizes in the monoclinic P21 space group. The asymmetric unit of 1 consists of one diprotonated l-histidinium cation {4-[(2S)-2-azaniumyl-2-carboxyethyl]-1H-imidazol-3-ium}, one Cu+ cation, three iodide anions, and one co-crystallized water molecule. The Cu+ cations is four-coordinated by iodide anions forming a [CuI4] unit. Structural analysis of the [CuI4] unit using the Baur, τ4, and τ4′ indices reveals its slight deviation from ideal tetrahedral geometry. Two iodide anions from each [CuI4] unit bridge adjacent Cu+ centers, forming chiral left-handed helical [CuI3]n2n− polymeric chains. The biprotonated l-histidinium cations balance their negative charge and form N—H⋯I, O—H⋯I, and weak C—H⋯I hydrogen bonds with the [CuI3]n2n− chains. According to the Hirshfeld surface analysis, the main contributions to the crystal packing arise from H⋯I and H⋯O contacts, while C⋯I and N⋯I interactions indicate the presence of I⋯π contacts. The compound reported here represents the first example of a chiral A2CuX3-type metal halide, which shows potential for second-harmonic generation, polarized blue-light emission, and other non-linear optical applications.
新合成的化合物(l-HisH2)CuI3·H2O(其中l-HisH2 = l-组氨酸)具有罕见的由角共享[CuI4]四面体的手性左旋螺旋链构建的一维a2cux3型结构。晶体结构和Hirshfeld表面分析表明,氢键和π⋯I相互作用在介导该化合物的有机和无机组分之间的相互作用中起着至关重要的作用。利用τ4, τ4 '和Baur指数进行畸变分析表明,该化合物在已报道的类似物中具有最低的[CuI4]四面体畸变。标题化合物{(C6H11N3O2)[CuI3]·H2O}n或(l-HisH2)CuI3·H2O(1)是一种在单斜P21空间群中结晶的手性有机-无机化合物。1的不对称单元由1个双质子化l-组氨酸阳离子{4-[(2S)-2-氮杂-2-碳-氧- eth -]- 1h -咪唑-3-ium}、1个Cu+阳离子、3个碘离子和1个共结晶水分子组成。Cu+阳离子与碘化物阴离子配位形成[CuI4]单元。利用鲍尔、τ4和τ4 '指数对[CuI4]单元进行结构分析,发现它与理想的四面体几何有轻微的偏差。来自每个[CuI4]单元的两个碘离子桥接相邻的Cu+中心,形成手性左旋螺旋[CuI3]n2n−聚合链。双质子化的l-组氨酸阳离子平衡了它们的负电荷,并与[CuI3]n2n−链形成N-H⋯I、O-H⋯I和弱的C-H⋯I氢键。根据Hirshfeld表面分析,对晶体堆积的主要贡献来自H⋯I和H⋯O接触,而C⋯I和N⋯I相互作用表明存在I⋯π接触。本文报道的化合物是手性a2cux3型金属卤化物的第一个例子,它显示出二次谐波产生、偏振蓝光发射和其他非线性光学应用的潜力。

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies were performed on two new forms of tinidazole: triclinic and hemihydrate, and their structures were compared to that of the known monoclinic form.
The crystal structures of two new tinidazole {1-[2-(ethanesulfonyl)ethyl]-2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole, TNZ, C8H13N3O4S} forms, triclinic and hemihydrate, have been determined and compared to that of the known monoclinic form. The triclinic and hemihydrate structures each contain two independent molecules with similar conformations, whereas the monoclinic form adopts a distinct geometry. The conformational differences arise mainly from variations in the N—C—C—S torsion angle. A conformational study confirmed two preferred types of molecular conformations characteristic of tinidazole polymorphs. Interaction-energy analysis indicates that, despite differences in the crystal packing of the monoclinic and triclinic polymorphs, dispersion forces play a major role in consolidation of their structures.

The crystal structure of (C2H8NO)2[PbI4] is layered and can be derived from the perovskite structure where the N,O-dimethylhydroxylammonium cations are organized in layers and bound to the anionic layers through N—H⋯I interactions.
The title compound, {(C2H8NO)2[PbI4]}n, represents a layered organic–inorganic perovskite, crystallizing in space group C2/c. The asymmetric unit comprises one N,O-dimethylhydroxylammonium cation, one Pb2+ cation located on a twofold rotation axis, and two iodide anions. The Pb2+ cation is coordinated by six iodido ligands, generating a slightly distorted octahedral {PbI6} unit. The octahedra are connected by corner-sharing of equatorial I− ligands to form polymeric inorganic sheets extending parallel to the ab plane. These sheets are separated by double layers of the organic cations, producing a typical di-periodic perovskite-type arrangement with stacking of the layers along the c axis. Neighbouring inorganic layers are shifted relative to each other along both the a and b axes. The N,O-dimethylhydroxylammonium cation engages in two N—H⋯I hydrogen bonds directed toward axially bound iodido ligands, which consolidates the packing of the crystal structure.

A paper-based virtual X-ray diffraction experiment, which is based on the right-angle condition for constructive interference, allows the implications of Bragg’s law to be studies in a simple way.
A simple paper-based model is proposed, which is based on the right-angle condition for constructive interference of Bragg’s law. As demonstrated, the model allows visualization and basic quantification of the geometric relationships between wavelength, lattice spacing, and diffraction angle. Moreover, it facilitates the exploration of the limiting conditions for diffraction, angular dispersion, and the role of wavelength as a factor affecting crystallographic resolution.

Crystal structures have been obtained for the heterocyclic NPN compound, 5-cyclohexyl-1,3-diphenyl-1,3,5-diazaphosphinane and its air oxidized phosphine oxide, 5-cyclohexyl-1,3-diphenyl-1,3,5-diazaphosphinan-5-one. The nickel(II) dichloride complex with bis diazaphosphinane ligands has also been obtained and structurally characterized.
The crystal structures of 5-cyclohexyl-1,3-diphenyl-1,3,5-diazaphosphinane, C21H27N2P, and its oxidized phosphine oxide, 5-cyclohexyl-1,3-diphenyl-1,3,5-diazaphosphinan-5-one, C21H27N2OP, have primitive monoclinic symmetry (both in space group P21/m) at 150 K. The nickel(II) complex trans-dichloridobis(5-cyclohexyl-1,3-diphenyl-1,3,5-diazaphosphinane-κP)nickel(II), [NiCl2(C21H27N2P)2], consists of two diazaphosphinane ligands (monoclinic C2/c, 150 K) bound through their phosphorous atoms, which adopts a four-coordinate square-planar geometry. The bulky cyclohexyl substituents of the ligand are axially positioned in their respective chair six-membered ligand rings, and are in an anti-configuration, with respect to the square plane. The nickel atom is located on a center of symmetry.

In the complex [Ag(2AB)2]NO3·(2AB)2 (2AB: 2-aminobenzoxazole), the central silver atom is coordinated monodentately by two 2AB ligands forming a linear geometry. The extended structure features N—H⋯N, N—H⋯π and π–π interactions.
The coordination complex of 2-aminobenzaxole (2AB) with silver(I), namely, bis(2-aminobenzoxazole-κN)silver(I) nitrate–bis(2-aminobenzoxazole (1/2), [Ag(C7H6N2O)2]NO3·2C7H6N2O or [Ag(2AB)2]NO3·(2AB)2, was synthesized from ethanol solutions of AgNO3 and 2AB. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of [Ag(2AB)2]NO3·(2AB)2, The central silver(I) atom is coordinated by two nitrogen donor atoms from 2-aminobenzaxazole ligands in an N2 coordination set while another two 2-aminobenzaxazole ligands and one nitrate anion remain uncoordinated. The crystal structure features several intramolecular N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding interactions as well as C—H⋯π, Ag⋯π and π–π interactions between adjacent AB ligands. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to investigate the intermolecular interactions.

The hybrid organic–inorganic compound (4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium)PbBr3 crystallizes in a polar space group and features polymeric one-dimensional inorganic chains formed by face-sharing distorted octahedra, which alternate with organic cations.
Hybrid organic—inorganic perovskites are a group of versatile materials with outstanding performance in photovoltaics, LEDs, lasers, and sensors. The hybrid organic–inorganic compound (4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium)PbBr3, or {(C2H5N4)[PbBr3])n, crystallizes in the polar orthorhombic space group Pna21. Its structure is built from [PbBr6] octahedra with pronounced trigonal distortion, which are connected through face-sharing to form infinite one-dimensional chains extending along the c-axis direction. These inorganic chains are separated by 4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium cations that establish an extensive network of weak interactions, including N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds as well as C—H⋯Br contacts and N⋯Pb tetrel bonds. Additionally, N—H⋯N interactions link neighboring organic cations. The network of intermolecular contacts was further examined using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots.
