trans‐Di­aqua­bis­(thio­semicarb­azido‐κ2N,S)­nickel(II) dimaleate dihydrate

In the title compound, [Ni(CH₅N₃S)₂(H₂O)₂](C₄H₃O₄)₂·2H₂O, the Ni atom lies on a center of symmetry and is coordinated by N and S atoms from two thio­semicarbazide ligands and the O atoms of two water mol­ecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the asymmetric unit, the three components are linked together by one O—H⋯O and two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The packing is built from molecular ribbons parallel to the b direction, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds, and by one N—H⋯S and two N—H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The ribbons are further connected into columns by N—H⋯O interactions and then into a three‐dimensional network by three O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

Bis(μ‐acetato)(μ‐2,6‐bis­{[(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)amino]meth­yl}‐4‐methyl­phenolato)dinickel(II) hexa­fluoro­phosphate hemihydrate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni₂(C₂₅H₃₁N₄O₃)(C₂H₃O₂)₂]PF₆·0.5H₂O, consists of two dinuclear nickel cations, two hexa­fluoro­phosphate anions and one water mol­ecule of crystallization.

Each Ni atom is six‐coordinate with a slightly distorted octa­hedral geometry. The two symmetry‐independent cations are linked into a dimeric unit through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Additional O—H⋯O, C—H⋯F and C—H⋯O inter­molecular inter­actions link all of the units in the structure into a three‐dimensional framework.

The Cu^II atom has square‐pyramidal coordination geometry involving two N atoms and an O atom from the dmoxpn ligand, an N atom from an imidazole ring, and an O atom from a methanol mol­ecule. The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and imidazole π–π stacking inter­actions to form a three‐dimensional supra­molecular array.     

3,3a‐Dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]­chromen‐1(2H)‐ones from the reaction of salicylaldehyde and 2‐cyclo­penten‐1‐one

The two title chromene compounds, 3,3a‐dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]chromen‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₆H₁₂O₂, (I), and 2‐(2‐hydroxy­benzyl­idene)‐3,3a‐dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]chromen‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₉H₁₄O₃, (II), have been determined in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. Compound (I) is mainly stabilized by C—H⋯π inter­actions. Compound (II) is linked into infinite one‐dimensional chains with a C(3) motif via inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The inter­molecular C—H⋯π and π–­π inter­actions also play key roles in stabilizing the crystal packing. Two intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with S(5) motifs were detected in (II).     

Bis(μ‐2‐amino­pyridine)­bis­[(tri­fluoro­acetato)silver(I)]

The title compound, [Ag₂(C₂F₃O₂)₂(C₅H₆N₂)₂], is a dinuclear Ag^I complex with inversion symmetry. Each Ag atom is three‐coordinated by two N atoms from two different 2‐amino­pyridine ligands and by one O atom from a tri­fluoro­acetate anion, giving an approximately trigonal coordination environment. In the crystal packing, mol­ecules are connected by N—H⋯O and N—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the (001) plane.

In the title compound, [Co(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂]·C₁₀H₈N₂, the Co atom is trans‐coordinated by two pairs of N and O atoms from two monoanionic 4,5‐di­carboxy­imidazole ligands, and by two O atoms from two coordinated water mol­ecules, in a distorted octahedral geometry. The 4,4′‐bi­pyridine solvent molecule is not involved in coordination but is linked by an N—H⋯N hydrogen bond to the neutral [Co(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂] mol­ecule. Both mol­ecules are located on inversion centers. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which produce a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network. Offset π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings of adjacent 4,4′‐bi­pyridine molecules were observed, with a face‐to‐face distance of 3.345 (1) Å.     

catena‐Poly[[diaquabis(2‐chloronicotinato‐κ2O,O′)cadmium(II)]‐μ‐2‐chloronicotinato‐κ3O,O′:N]

In the title neutral coordination polymer, [Cd(C₆H₃ClNO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, each Cd^II ion is coordinated by one N and four O atoms from three 2‐chloro­nicotinate ligands and by two aqua ligands, defining a distorted monocapped octahedral coordination geometry. Adjacent Cd atoms are linked by the pyridyl N atom and the bidentate carboxyl­ate functional group of a 2‐­chloro­nicotinate ligand, forming a one‐dimensional infinite chain along the b axis. The Cd⋯Cd distance is 8.112 (3) Å. These chains are linked by O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a three‐dimensional network structure.     

catena‐Poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)­silver(I)]‐μ‐nicotinato] and catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato]

In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐nico­tinato‐κ²N:O], [Ag(C₆H₄NO₂)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms from the di‐2‐pyridyl­amine (BPA) ligand [Ag—N = 2.3785 (18) and 2.3298 (18) Å] and by one N atom and one carboxyl­ate O atom from nicotinate ligands [Ag—N = 2.2827 (15) Å and Ag—O = 2.3636 (14) Å]. Bridging by nicotinate N and O atoms generates a polymeric chain structure, which extends along [100]. The carboxyl O atom not bonded to the Ag atom takes part in an intrachain C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, further stabilizing the chain. Pairs of chains are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate ribbons. There are no π–π interactions in this complex. In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato‐κ²O¹:O²], [Ag(C₇H₅O₄)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination, with three strong bonds to two pyridine N atoms from the BPA ligand [Ag—N = 2.286 (5) and 2.320 (5) Å] and to one carboxyl­ate O atom from the 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligand [Ag—O = 2.222 (4) Å]; the fourth, weaker, Ag‐atom coordination is to one of the phenol O atoms [Ag⋯O = 2.703 (4) Å] of an adjacent moiety, and this interaction generates a polymeric chain along [100]. Pairs of chains are linked about inversion centers by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form ribbons, within which there are π–π interactions. The ribbons are linked about inversion centers by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and additional π–π interactions between inversion‐related pairs of 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligands to generate a three‐dimensional network.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded supramolecular motifs in 4,4′‐bipyridinium 8‐hydroxy‐7‐iodo­quinoline‐5‐sulfonate dihydrate

In the title compound, C₁₀H₉N₂⁺·C₉H₅INO₄S⁻·2H₂O, the 4,4′‐bi­pyridine mol­ecule is protonated at one of the pyridine N atoms. These moieties self‐assemble into a supramolecular chain along the a axis through N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The quinolinol OH group acts as a donor with respect to a sulfonate O atom [O—H⋯O(sulfonate)] and acts as an acceptor with respect to a C—H group of ferron [C—H⋯O(hydroxy)], forming a supramolecular chain along the b axis. These two types of supramolecular chains (one type made up of bi­pyridine motifs and the other made up of sulfoxine motifs) interact viaπ–π stacking, generating a three‐dimensional framework. These chains are further crosslinked by C—­H⋯O hydrogen bonds and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving water mol­ecules.     

Di­aza­bi­cyclo­[2.2.2]­octane‐1,4‐diium dichromate

The title compound, (C₆H₁₄N₂)[Cr₂O₇], consists of a di­aza­bi­cyclo­[2.2.2]­octane‐1,4‐diium cation and a discrete dichromate anion, which are linked in the crystal by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The cation is ordered and distorted, owing to the confinement and twist of the hydrogen bonds involved. Two CrO₄ tetrahedra are joined through a shared O atom to form the dichromate anion. Chiral supramolecular chains of the title compound are built up via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and C—H⋯O interactions play subordinate roles in forming the structure.

The title compound, [Co(C₆H₉O₄)₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)(H₂O)₂]_n, crystallizes in the space group P. The Co atom is on a center of symmetry and the 1,2‐di‐4‐pyridylethane (bpe) ligand also sits across a crystallographic inversion center. The Co atom is octa­hedrally coordinated by two aqua ligands, two carboxyl­ate O atoms and two pyridyl N atoms, and is bridged by the anti‐bpe ligands to generate one‐dimensional {[Co(Hadip)₂(H₂O)₂](bpe)_2/2} chains (Hadip is 5‐carboxypentanoate), which are further inter­linked by O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into two‐dimensional layers.

The mol­ecule displays a V‐shape in the solid state. The dihedral angle defined by the least‐squares planes of the aromatic rings is 72.9 (1)°. The packing pattern exhibits the following inter­molecular hydrogen bonds: one O—H⋯O [H⋯O = 1.98 Å, O⋯O = 2.785 (4) Å and O—H⋯O = 166°] and two C—H⋯O [H⋯O = 2.58 and 2.60 Å, C⋯O = 3.527 (5) and 3.347 (5) Å, and C—H⋯O = 164 and 134°]. These define a chain along b.

The N—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonded rings are almost planar and coupled with the cyclo­hexa­diene rings. The carbonyl O atoms accept two other H atoms from the alcohol groups of adjacent mol­ecules in (I), and one from the alcohol and one from the phenol group in (II), but from only one alcohol H atom in (III).     

Bis[1,1‐di­methyl­biguanide(1–)‐κ2N2,N5]copper(II) monohydrate

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C₄H₁₀N₅)₂]·H₂O, contains two independent copper N,N‐di­methyl­biguanide complex units, each with square‐planar coordination of the Cu atom by four N atoms. The two complexes have different symmetry, with one Cu atom lying on an inversion centre and the other on a twofold rotation axis. The Cu—N bond lengths are 1.923 (2) and 1.950 (2) Å in the centrosymmetric complex, and 1.928 (2) and 1.938 (2) Å in the non‐centrosymmetric complex. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds; each water mol­ecule forms four hydrogen bonds involving three different Cu complexes.

Three CrO₄ tetrahedra are joined via shared O atoms to form the trichromate anion. Supramolecular rings, which can be described by the graph‐set motif (26), are built via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and C—H⋯O interactions play lesser roles in forming the structure.     

mer‐Di­aqua­bis(1H‐imidazole‐κN3)(orotato‐κ2N3,O4)­nickel(II)

The Ni^II ion in the complex has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry comprised of one deprotonated pyrimidine N atom and the adjacent carboxyl­ate O atom of the orotate ligand, two tertiary imidazole N atoms and two aqua ligands. An extensive three‐dimensional network of OW—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and π–π and π–ring interactions are responsible for crystal stabilization.

Crystals of 2,4,6‐tri­amino‐1,3,5‐triazin‐1‐ium levulinate (4‐oxo­pentanoate) monohydrate, C₃H₇N₆⁺·C₅H₇O₃⁻·H₂O, are formed via self‐assembled hydrogen bonding by cocrystallization of mel­amine and levulinic acid. Two N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and four N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect two melaminium entities such that each of two pairs of N—H⋯O bonds bridges two H atoms belonging to the amine groups of two different melaminium cations via the carbonyl O atom of one levulinate mol­ecule.

The mol­ecule of 2-(hydroxy­methyl)-1,3-propane­diol, C₄H₁₀O₃, lies across a mirror plane in space group P2₁/m, with disorder of both terminal hydroxyl H atoms. The molecules are linked by three O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds which combine to form sheets; in each O—H⋯O bond, the H atom resonates between the two O atoms. In the crystal structure of N,N′-­bis­[2-hydroxy-1,1-bis­(hydroxy­methyl)­ethyl]­malon­amide, C₁₁H₂₂N₂O₈, the molecule lies about a twofold axis and has four strong hydrogen bonds which form a mixture of chains and dimers; these combine to give a three-dimensional supramolecular framework.
