In the adduct 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethane–1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane (1/2), C₁₂H₁₂N₂·2C₂₀H₁₈O₃, the bipyridyl component lies across an inversion centre in P. The tris‐phenol mol­ecules [systematic name: 4,4′,4′′‐(ethane‐1,1,1‐triyl)­triphenol] are linked by O—H?O hydrogen bonds to form sheets built from R(38) rings, and symmetry‐related pairs of sheets are linked by the bipyridyl mol­ecules via O—H?N hydrogen bonds to form open bilayers. Each bilayer is interwoven with two adjacent bilayers, forming a continuous three‐dimensional structure. In the adduct 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene–1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane–methanol (1/1/1), C₁₂H₁₀N₂·C₂₀H₁₈O₃·CH₄O, the mol­ecules are linked by O—H?O and O—H?N hydrogen bonds into three interwoven three‐dimensional frameworks, generated by single spiral chains along [010] and [001] and a triple‐helical spiral along [100].     

Stabilization of Substituted Triazenide Oxides: Synthesis and X‐ray Structural Features of Polymeric Potassium 3‐(4‐carboxylatophenyl)‐1‐methyltriazene N‐oxide‐hydrate, {K[O2C‐C6H4‐N(H)NN(CH3)O]·4H2O}n

3‐(4‐carboxyphenyl)‐1‐methyltriazene N‐oxide reacts with KOH in methanol/pyridine to give {K[O₂C‐C₆H₄‐N(H)NN(CH₃)O]·4H₂O}_n, Potassium‐3‐(4‐carboxylatophenyl)‐1‐methyltriazene N‐oxide). The terminal carboxylato group of the anion does not interact with the cation. In the crystal lattice of {K(C₈H₈N₃O₃)·4H₂O}_n each three of the four water molecules interact with two potassium cations, every K⁺ ion being the centre of six bridging K···O interactions. Potassium cations interact further with the terminal N‐oxigen atom of single [C₈H₈N₃O₃]^? anions achieving two parallel {C₈H₈N₃O₃^?K⁺}_n chains, which are linked through water molecules. The resulting polymeric, one‐dimensional chain, is operated by a screw axis 2₁ parallel to the crystallographic direction [010], along and equidistant to the K⁺ centres. The coordination of the K⁺ centres involves a distortion of the boat conformation of elementary sulfur (S₈) with the ideal C_2v symmetry.

The title complex, [μ‐2,2′‐(1,4‐butane­diyl)di‐1H‐benzimidazole‐κ²N³:N^3′]bis{[2,2′‐(1,4‐butane­diyl)di‐1H‐benzimidazole‐κ²N³,N^3′](nitrato‐κO)cobalt(II)} dinitrate ethanol disolvate, [Co₂(NO₃)₂(C₁₈H₁₈N₄)₃](NO₃)₂·2C₂H₆O, was obtained from self‐assembly of cobalt(II) nitrate with 2,2′‐(1,4‐butane­diyl)dibenzimidazole (L). The complex molecule lies about an inversion centre and the flexible L ligands act in both bridging and chelating modes to form a dinuclear complex with unanticipated nine‐membered chelate rings. The unique uncoordinated nitrate anion is linked to the cation by pairs of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which determine the overall cation conformation. Cation–anion sets are then linked by a further N—H⋯O hydrogen bond to generate a chain along [010]. Chains are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form sheets in the (100) plane.

The maleate anion lies on a twofold axis and is linked to the pyridinium cations by intermolecular N—H⃛O hydrogen bonds.

1‐Carboxymethyl‐3‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium chloride 2‐(3‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium‐1‐yl)acetate monohydrate: a crystal stabilized by imidazolium zwitterions

The title compound, C₆H₉N₂O₂⁺·Cl⁻·C₆H₈N₂O₂·H₂O, contains one 2‐(3‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium‐1‐yl)acetate inner salt molecule, one 1‐carboxymethyl‐3‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium cation, one chloride ion and one water molecule. In the extended structure, chloride anions and water molecules are linked via O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming an infinite one‐dimensional chain. The chloride anions are also linked by two weak C—H...Cl interactions to neighbouring methylene groups and imidazole rings. Two imidazolium moieties form a homoconjugated cation through a strong and asymmetric O—H...O hydrogen bond of 2.472 (2) Å. The IR spectrum shows a continuous D‐type absorption in the region below 1300 cm⁻¹ and is different to that of 1‐carboxymethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride [Xuan, Wang & Xue (2012). Spectrochim. Acta Part A, 96 , 436–443].     

Ammonium 1‐hydroxy‐2‐(2‐pyridinio)ethane‐1,1‐diyldiphosphonate dihydrate and potassium 1‐hydroxy‐2‐(2‐pyridinio)ethane‐1,1‐diyldiphosphonate dihydrate

The crystal structures of the title compounds, ammonium risedronate dihydrate, NH₄⁺·C₇H₁₀NO₇P₂⁻·2H₂O, (I), and potassium risedronate dihydrate, K⁺·C₇H₁₀NO₇P₂⁻·2H₂O, (II), have been determined from single‐crystal X‐ray data collected at 120 K. Compound (I) forms a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network which connects the ammonium and risedronate ions and the water mol­ecules. In compound (II), the K⁺ ions are seven‐coordinated in a capped distorted trigonal prism. The coordination polyhedra form chains by corner‐sharing, and these chains are connected by phosphon­ate groups into layers in the ac plane. The layers are stacked and connected by hydrogen bonds in the b direction. The risedronate conformation is determined by intra­molecular inter­actions fine‐tuned by crystal packing effects. All H‐atom donors in both structures are involved in hydrogen bonding, with D⋯A distances between 2.510 (2) and 3.009 (2) Å.     

Dipotassium di‐μ‐iso­thio­cyanato‐κ4N:S‐bis­[(N‐salicyl­idene‐dl‐valinato‐κ3O,N,O′)­cuprate(II)]

The title compound, K₂[Cu₂(NCS)₂(C₁₂H₁₃NO₃)₂], consists of two K⁺ cations and (N‐salicyl­idene‐d ‐valinato)­cop­per(II) and (N‐salicyl­idene‐l ‐valinato)cop­per(II) coordination units con­nected through three‐atom thio­cyanate (μ‐NCS) bridges into a centrosymmetric dianion. The Cu^II atom adopts a square‐pyramidal coordination, with three donor atoms of the tridentate Schiff base and one N atom of the bridging ligand (μ‐NCS) in the basal plane. The axial position is occupied by the thio­cyanate S atom of a symmetry‐related ligand at an apical distance of 2.9332 (10) Å. Coulombic interactions between six‐coordinated K⁺ ions and the heteroatoms of neighbouring dimeric anions leads to the formation of one‐dimensional chains of mol­ecules parallel to [010]. The superposition of the normals of the pyramidal base planes in a direction close to [001] indicates possible π–π interactions between neighbouring units.
