The crystal structure of a mercury(II) halide complex containing bis(tert-butylamido)cyclodiphosphazane ligand with an unusual chelation mode is reported. The molecular structure features weak N—H⋯O interactions that propagate and link the molecules into a three-dimensional structure.
The mercury(II) halide complex [1,3-di-tert-butyl-2,4-bis(tert-butylamino)-1,3,2λ5,4λ5-diazadiphosphetidine-2,4-diselone-κ2Se,Se′]diiodidomercury(II)N,N-dimethylformamide monosolvate, [HgI2(C16H38N4P2Se2)]·C3H7NO or (1)HgI2, 2, containing cis-[(tBuNH)(Se)P(μ-NtBu)2P(Se)(NHtBu)] (1) was synthesized and structurally characterized. The crystal structure of 2 confirms the chelation of chalcogen donors to HgI2 with a natural bite angle of 112.95 (2)°. The coordination geometry around mercury is distorted tetrahedral as indicated by the τ4 geometry index parameter (τ4 = 0.90). In the mercury complex, the exocyclic tert-butylamido substituents are arranged in an (endo, endo) fashion, whereas in the free ligand (1), the exocyclic substituents are arranged in an (exo, endo) pattern. Compound 2 displays non-classical N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions with the solvent N,N-dimethylformamide. These interactions may introduce geometrical distortion and deviation from an ideal geometry. An isostructural HgBr2 analogue containing cis-[(tBuNH)(S)P(μ-NtBu)2P(S)(NHtBu)] was also synthesized and structurally characterized, CIF data for the compound being presented as supporting information.

In the title compound, the [SbS4]3– anions bridge two Zn(cyclam)2+ cations into [Zn2(cyclam)2SbS4]+ cations, which are charged-balanced by perchlorate anions. The components are linked by N—H⋯O, N—H⋯S and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
The reaction of Zn(ClO4)2·6H2O with Na3SbS4·9H2O in a water/acetonitrile mixture leads to the formation of the title compound, (μ-tetrathioantimonato-κ2S:S′)bis[(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-κ4N)zinc(II)] perchlorate 0.8-hydrate, [Zn2(SbS4)(C10H24N4)2]ClO4·0.8H2O or [(Zn-cyclam)2(SbS4)]+[ClO4]−·0.8H2O. The asymmetric unit consists of two crystallographically independent [SbS4]3– anions, two independent perchlorate anions and two independent water molecules as well as four crystallographically independent Zn(cyclam)2+ cations that are located in general positions. Both perchlorate anions and one cyclam ligand are disordered and were refined with a split mode using restraints. The water molecules are partially occupied. Two Zn(cyclam)2+ cations are linked via the [SbS4]3– anions into [Zn2(cyclam)2SbS4]+ cations that are charged-balanced by the [ClO4]− anions. The water molecules of crystallization are hydrogen bonded to the [SbS4]3– anions. The cations, anions and water molecules are linked by N—H⋯O, N—H⋯S and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. Powder X-ray diffraction proves that a pure sample had been obtained that was additionally investigated for its spectroscopic properties.

In the crystal structure, the molecules are connected by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to create two-dimensional supramolecular networks extending parallel to the crystallographic ab plane.
The title compound, C18H21N3O3, was prepared from 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride and cyclopropylamine. Its crystal structure was solved in the monoclinic space group P21/c. In the crystal, the three amide groups of the molecule are inclined at angles of 26.5 (1), 36.9 (1) and 37.8 (1)° with respect to the plane of the benzene ring. The molecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional supramolecular aggregates that extend parallel to the crystallographic ab plane and are further connected by C—H⋯O contacts. As a result of the supramolecular interactions, a propeller-like conformation of the title molecule can be observed.

The title molecule adopts a conformation in which the three phenyl rings are arranged in a paddlewheel-like fashion around the central arene ring and the carboxyl residue is oriented nearly perpendicular to the plane of this benzene ring. Inversion-symmetric dimers of O—H⋯O-bonded molecules represent the basic supramolecular entities of the crystal structure. These dimeric molecular units are further linked by C—H⋯O=C bonds, forming one-dimensional supramolecular aggregates along [111].
Crystal growth of 2-(3,4,5-triphenylphenyl)acetic acid (1) from acetonitrile yields a monosolvate, C26H20O2·CH3CN, of the space group P1. In the crystal, the title molecule adopts a conformation in which the three phenyl rings are arranged in a paddlewheel-like fashion around the central arene ring and the carboxyl residue is oriented nearly perpendicular to the plane of this benzene ring. Inversion-symmetric dimers of O—H⋯O-bonded molecules of 1 represent the basic supramolecular entities of the crystal structure. These dimeric molecular units are further linked by C—H⋯O=C bonds to form one-dimensional supramolecular aggregates running along the crystallographic [111] direction.

Two new zinc(II) complexes, C21H13Cl2N2O3Zn·C6H16N (ZnOQ) and C20H14Cl4N2O2Zn·2C6H16N (ZnBS), were synthesized and their structures were determined using ESI–MS spectrometry, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
Two new zinc(II) complexes, triethylammonium dichlorido[2-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-phenylquinolin-8-olato]zinc(II), (C6H16N){Zn(C21H13N2O3)Cl2] (ZnOQ), and bis(triethylammonium) {2,2′-[1,4-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}bis[dichloridozinc(II)], (C6H16N)2[Zn2(C20H14N2O2)Cl4] (ZnBS), were synthesized and their structures were determined using ESI–MS spectrometry, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the ligands 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-phenylquinolin-8-ol (HOQ) and N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)benzene-1,4-diamine (H2BS) were deprotonated by triethyl-amine, forming the counter-ion Et3NH+, which interacts via an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond with the ligand. The ZnII atoms have a distorted trigonal–pyramidal (ZnOQ) and distorted tetrahedral (ZnBS) geometries with a coordination number of four, coordinating with the ligands via N and O atoms. The N atoms coordinating with ZnII correspond to the heterocyclic nitrogen for the HOQ ligand, while for the H2BS ligand, it is the nitrogen of the imine (CH=N). The crystal packing of ZnOQ is characterized by C—H⋯π interactions, while that of ZnBS by C—H⋯Cl interactions. The emission spectra showed that ZnBS complex exhibits green fluorescence in the solid state with a small band-gap energy, and the ZnOQ complex does exhibit non-fluorescence.

The title compound, [Sn(C6H5)Cl3(C12H8N2)], which was obtained by the reaction between 1,10-phenanthroline and phenyltin trichloride in methanol, exhibits intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the chlorine and hydrogen atoms. Crystal cohesion is ensured by intermolecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, as well as Y—X⋯π and π-stacking interactions involving three different aromatic rings with centroid–centroid distances of 3.6605 (13), 3.9327 (14) and 3.6938 (12) Å]. Hirshfeld surface analysis and the associated two-dimensional fingerprint plots reveal significant contributions from H⋯H (30.7%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (32.4%), and C⋯H/H⋯C (24.0%) contacts to the crystal packing while the C⋯C (6.2%), C⋯Cl/Cl⋯C (4.1%), and N⋯H/H⋯N (1.7%) interactions make smaller contributions.

An analysis of the complex structure obtained by crystallization of 5-nonanoyl-8-hydroxyquinoline and InCl3 in acetonitrile is reported.
Crystallization of 5-nonanoyl-8-hydroxyquinoline in the presence of InCl3 in acetonitrile yields a dinuclear InIII complex crystallizing in the space group P
. In this complex, [In2(C18H22NO2)2Cl4(H2O)2], each indium ion is sixfold coordinated by two chloride ions, one water molecule and two 8-quinolinolate ions. The crystal of the title complex is composed of two-dimensional supramolecular aggregates, resulting from the linkage of the Owater—H⋯O=C and Owater—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds as well as bifurcated Carene—H⋯Cl contacts.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, the CoII cations are octahedrally coordinated by two bridging and one terminal thiocyanate anions, two bridging 4-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands and one ethanol molecule and linked into chains by single μ-1,3-bridging anionic ligands that are further connected into layers by pairs of μ-1,1(O,O)-bridging 4-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands.
Reaction of 4-methylpyridine N-oxide and Co(NCS)2 in ethanol as solvent accidentally leads to the formation of single crystals of Co(NCS)2(4-methylpyridine N-oxide)(ethanol) or [Co(NCS)2(C6H7NO)(C2H6O)]n. The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of one CoII cation, two crystallographically independent thiocyanate anions, one 4-methylpyridine N-oxide coligand and one ethanol molecule on general positions. The cobalt cations are sixfold coordinated by one terminal and two bridging thiocyanate anions, two bridging 4-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands and one ethanol molecule, with a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The cobalt cations are linked by single μ-1,3(N,S)-bridging thiocyanate anions into corrugated chains, that are further connected into layers by pairs of μ-1,1(O,O)-bridging 4-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands. The layers are parallel to the bc plane and are separated by the methyl groups of the 4-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands. Within the layers, intralayer hydrogen bonding is observed.
