In the title compound, [Na₄(C₈H₁₆BO₄)₄(C₄H₁₀O₂)]_n, there are two coordination types for the four independent Na⁺ cations: two Na⁺ cations bond to six diolate O atoms [Na—O = 2.305 (2)–2.609 (2) Å], while the other two are five‐coordinate via one 1,4‐butane­diol [2.289 (2) and 2.349 (3) Å] and four diolate O atoms [2.295 (2)–2.408 (2) Å]. Corresponding to this, there are three‐ and four‐coordinate diolate O atoms, the latter bridging Na atoms. The 1,4‐butane­diol mol­ecules lie on inversion centres. The boron stereochemistry shows minor local perturbations from its usual tetrahedral state [B—O = 1.457 (4)–1.503 (4) Å]. The resulting polymer packs as sheets parallel to the (10) plane crosslinked by the butane­diol mol­ecules. The structure was solved using data from a multiple crystal.

In the title compound [systematic name: tri­aqua(1,4,7,10,13,16‐hexaoxa­cyclo­octa­decane‐κ⁶O)(2‐nitro­phenolato‐κO)­barium(II)–aqua(1,4,7,10,13,16‐hexaoxa­cyclo­octa­decane‐κ⁶O)‐ bis(2‐nitro­phenolato‐κ²O,O′)­barium(II)–2‐nitro­phenolate (1/1/1)], [Ba(C₁₂H₂₄O₆)(C₆H₄NO₃)(H₂O)₃][Ba(C₁₂H₂₄O₆)(C₆H₄NO₃)₂(H₂O)](C₆H₄NO₃), the two Ba^II atoms encapsulated by the 18‐crown‐6 rings have different coordinations. Although both Ba^II atoms are coordinated to the six O atoms of the crowns, in the neutral moiety, the Ba^II atom is coordinated to one terminal O atom from a water mol­ecule, two phenolate O atoms and two nitro‐group O atoms, while in the cationic moiety, the Ba^II atom is coordinated to three terminal O atoms from water mol­ecules and one phenolate O atom. Both the crowns are eclipsed and translated along the b direction. In the asymmetric unit, the three components are interconnected by four O—H?O interactions. The packing is stabilized by two intermolecular C—H?O interactions and by one O—H?O interaction.

In the title compound, [Co(C₂H₆NS)(C₂H₈N₂)₂](NO₃)₂, the Co^III atom has a slightly distorted octahedral geometry, coordinated by one 2‐amino­ethane­thiol­ate and two ethyl­enedi­amine ligands. The three five‐membered chelate rings adopt a gauche conformation with the unfavoured (lel)₂(ob) form, which is ascribed to hydrogen bonds between the amine groups in the complex cation and the nitrate counter‐anions [N?O 2.900 (3)–3.378 (3) Å].

The ethanol mol­ecule is bound to the methoxy group of one ligand mol­ecule via a hydrogen bond.     

Ba[Co3(VO4)2(OH)2] with a regular Kagomé lattice

The new layered title compound, barium di‐μ‐hydroxido‐di‐μ‐vanadato‐tricobaltate(II), was prepared under low‐temperature hydrothermal conditions. Its crystal structure comprises Co²⁺ and O²⁻ ions in the Kagomé geometry.

The distorted geometry is highlighted by the marked displacement of the Mn^III ion out of the least‐squares plane of the four Schiff base donor atoms by 0.165 (2) Å. These monomeric Mn^III centres are then linked into a polymeric array via hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water mol­ecule and the phenolic O‐atom donors of an adjacent Mn^III centre [O—H?O 2.789 (5) and 2.881 (5) Å].

These chains are linked by hydrogen bonds, thus forming borate sheets. Water mol­ecules and ammonium ions between these sheets connect adjacent sheets via hydrogen bonds.

These chains are additionally connected via strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, producing a folded layer structure perpendicular to the a axis. These layers are paired due to B⋯F inter­actions.
