In the title compound, (NH₄)[IrCl₂(C₄H₇N₂O₂)₂], (I), the Ir atom is octahedrally coordinated by two trans Cl^? and two di­methyl­glyoximate chelate ligands in the equatorial plane. A two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network between ammonium cations NH₄⁺ and anionic [IrCl₂(C₄H₇N₂O₂)₂]^? complexes is extended along the bc plane.     

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.

In the title compounds, C₁₃H₁₅N₃O, (I), and C₁₃H₁₅N₃O₂, (II), the dihedral angles between the planes of the phenyl ring and the amide group are 4.1 (1) and 20.7 (1)°, respectively.

In the title compound, C₁₇H₂₆N₂OS₂·CH₂Cl₂, the C=S distances are 1.650 (4) and 1.679 (3) Å, and the torsion angle between the planes of the thio­carbamate and carbono­thio­yl fragments is 54.4 (2)°. The steric and electronic effects that these substituents exert on one another determine the observed anti configuration with respect to the phenyl C atoms to which they are attached.     

3‐(4‐Chloro­benzoyl)‐7‐(N,N‐di­methyl­amino)‐1‐phenyl­indolizine and 3‐(2,4‐di­chloro­benzoyl)‐7‐(N,N‐di­methyl­amino)‐1‐phenyl­indolizine

In both of the title compounds, C₂₃H₁₉ClN₂O, (I), and C₂₃H₁₈Cl₂N₂O, (II), the molecular packing is influenced by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions, but despite the chemical similarity of the compounds, the packing in (II) is entirely different from that observed in (I).

In the title compound, C₁₁H₁₂BrN₅O₂, the rings in the pterin moiety are planar. The carbonyl O atom is in a synperiplanar conformation, while the C—N—C(=O)—C linkage is antiperiplanar. N—H?N and N—H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds transform the mol­ecules into infinite chains.     

N,N′‐Bis­(dipiperidin‐1‐yl­methyl­ene)propane‐1,3‐di­amine and N,N′‐bis(1,3‐di­methyl­per­hydro­pyrimidin‐2‐yl­idene)­propane‐1,3‐di­amine

The molecular structures of the title compounds, C₂₅H₄₆N₆ and C₁₅H₃₀N₆, respectively, show the two guanidyl moieties each connected by propyl bridges. The different substitution pattern of the guanidyl groups has no influence on the distinct localization of their C=N double bonds. Both compounds exhibit approximate twofold symmetry and the crystal packing shows no prominent hydrogen‐bonding interactions.

A new triclinic polymorphic form of N,N′‐di­phenyl‐1,4‐phenyl­ene­di­amine (C₆H₅NHC₆H₄NHC₆H₅) has been obtained through appropriate recrystallization of the orthorhombic form. It crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group P, with two half mol­ecules as the asymmetric unit.

The title compound, [ZnBr₂(C₁₅H₂₆N₂)], when synthesized starting from Zn⁰, is obtained in two polymorphic forms, one belonging to space group P2₁2₁2₁ and one to P1. The present contribution deals with the triclinic phase, which is isostructural with the orthorhombic form but presents a larger metal–metal intermolecular separation; the Zn⃛Zn distance is 7.4715 (6) Å for the triclinic polymorph as opposed to 6.534 Å for the orthorhombic polymorph.

The title compound, [Li(C₁₂H₂₁NSi)(C₆H₁₆N₂)], is an intermediate in the synthesis of the corresponding organometallic compounds. The mol­ecule has an unusual C—Si—N—Li four‐membered heterocycle which adopts a folded conformation, with the coordination around the Li, N, C and Si atoms being distorted tetrahedral. Its structure is strongly supported by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and ¹³C–¹H correlation spectra. The compound has potential for application in the synthesis of other novel organometallic compounds.

The most important features are three different Sn—Br bond lengths at both Sn atoms with the following values: (a) 2.5060 (9), 2.7152 (10) and 3.7118 (10) Å; (b) 2.5084 (10), 2.5279 (9) and 3.5841 (10) Å.     

cis‐Di­bromo‐trans‐di­methyl‐cis‐bis(N,N‐di­methyl­acet­amide)­tin(IV)

The synthesis and X‐ray structure analysis of the title compound, [SnBr₂(CH₃)₂(C₄H₉NO)₂], are described. The crystal contains mol­ecules which are separated by normal van der Waals distances. Organotin(IV) compounds are found in a variety of structural types, in which the Sn atom can, for example, be hexacoordinated. In this case, the preferred solid‐state molecular structure of the central atom is octahedral. The degree of distortion and the configuration depend on the ligands.

The crystal structure of the title complex, [Ni(C₆H₁₄N₂)₂]Br₂, consists of discrete [Ni(C₆H₁₄N₂)₂]²⁺ cations and bromide counter‐anions. The Ni^II ion is at the center of symmetry and is four‐coordinated by four nitro­gen donors of the mesocyclic ligand 1,5‐di­aza­cyclo­octane (DACO) [Ni—N 1.935 (2)–1.937 (2) Å]. The coordination geometry of Ni^II can be considered as square planar and both DACO ligands take the boat–chair conformation. The bromide anions are hydrogen bonded with the nitro­gen donors of the ligands to form a macrocycle‐like ring system.     

N,N‐Di­methyl­anilinium 3‐cyano‐4‐(di­cyano­methyl­ene)‐5‐oxo‐4,5‐di­hydro‐1H‐pyrrol‐2‐olate

In the title compound, C₈H₁₂N⁺·C₈HN₄O₂⁻, the anion and cation lie on a crystallographic mirror plane and form planar ribbons via N—H⋯O [N⋯O = 2.933 (4) Å, H⋯O = 2.01 Å and N—H⋯O = 170°] and N—H⋯N [N⋯N = 3.016 (5) Å, H⋯N = 2.15 Å and N—H⋯N = 169°] hydrogen bonds. The ribbons are further linked via weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In adjacent planes, anions lie opposite cations; π–π interactions (separation a/2 = 3.520 Å) exist between the anions and the cations, and stacks are formed, running along the a axis. The cations are disordered over two interpenetrating sites, with occupancies of 0.833 (5) and 0.167 (5).

Adjacent two‐dimensional coordination sheets are connected into a three‐dimensional network by hydrogen bonds involving lattice water mol­ecules, and the aqua, bromo and hmt ligands belonging to different layers.     

1‐[(4‐Chloro­benzoyl)­methyl]‐4‐(N,N‐di­methyl­amino)­pyridinium bromide sesquihydrate and 1‐[(4‐bromo­benzoyl)­methyl]‐4‐(N,N‐di­methyl­amino)­pyridinium bromide sesquihydrate

The title compounds, C₁₅H₁₆ClN₂O⁺·Br⁻·1.5H₂O and C₁₅H₁₆BrN₂O⁺·Br⁻·1.5H₂O, are isomorphous. The benzene ring is oriented nearly normal to the pyridine ring in both compounds. The molecular packing is mainly influenced by intermolecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Br interactions, as well as weak intramolecular C—H⋯O interactions. The H₂OBr⁻ units form an extended water–bromide chain, with a bridging water mol­ecule on a twofold axis.
