The packing of 1 is dominated by S?O and S?S interactions, giving a 2D layer structure parallel to (101). The X‐ray crystal structure analysis revealed the packing of 1 is dominated by S?O and S?S interactions, giving a 2D layer structure parallel to (101). The intermolecular interactions in 1 were analyzed using the Hirshfeld surface method including 2D fingerprint plots and enrichment ratios (E), which shows that the most favored intermolecular contacts are the O?H and C?S indicated by E values above 1.30. The interaction energies between molecular pairs revealed the importance of the weak O?H and C?S interactions in stabilizing the molecular structure of 1.

The 2:1 molar reaction of [Fe2(CO)6{(µ-SCH2)2CH2}] (1) and a bidentate diphosphine ligand, 1,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane (dpph), in the presence of Me3NO resulted in the isolation of [Fe2(CO)5{Ph2P(CH2)3}{(µ-SCH2)2CH2}]2 (2) as red crystals in 71?% yield.

Synthesis and structural characterization of two heterodinuclear ZnII-LnIII complexes with the formula [ZnLn(HL)(µ-OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)x(MeOH)1-x]NO3 · n H2O · n MeOH [Ln?=?Pr (1), Nd (2)] and the crystal and molecular structure of [ZnNd(HL)(µ-OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)] [ZnNd(HL)(OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)](NO3)2 · n H2O · n MeOH (3) are reported. The asymmetrical compartmental ligand (E)-2-(1-(2-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)-ethyl)imidazolidin-2-yl)-6-methoxyphenol (H2L) is formed from N1,N3-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine (H2valdien) through intramolecular aminal formation, resulting in a peripheral imidazoline ring. The structures of 1–3 were revealed by X-ray crystallography. The smaller ZnII ion occupies the inner N2O2 compartment of the ligand, whereas the larger and more oxophilic LnIII ions are found in the outer O2O2’ site.

Graphical Abstract
A series of heterotrimetallic manganese-lanthanide-sodium dimer metallacrowns has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis: {LnNa[12-MCMn(III)N(shi)-4]}2(iph)4, where LnIII?=?La (1), Ce (2), Pr (3), Nd (4), Sm (5), Eu (6), Gd (7), Tb (8), Dy (9), Ho (10), Er (11), Tm (12), Yb (13), Lu (14), and Y (15); MC is metallacrown; shi3? is salicylhydroximate; and iph2? is isophthalate. The manganese(III) ions and shi3? ligands generate the 12-MC-4 framework with one LnIII and Na+ ion bound to each [12-MCMn(III)N(shi)-4] on opposite sides of the central MC cavity. The carboxylate groups of the isophthalate ligands bridge between the central LnIII ion and each ring MnIII ion, and the meta-arrangement of the carboxylate groups joins two LnNa[12-MCMn(III)N(shi)-4] units together to form the dimer through the LnIII ions, which reside on the interior of the molecule. The identity of the central LnIII ion slightly impacts the size the [12-MCMn(III)N(shi)-4] framework. As the crystal radius of the LnIII ion increases from LuIII (1.02 Å) to LaIII (1.19 Å), the 12-MC-4 framework expands to accommodate the larger LnIII ion as the MC cavity increases in size (0.53 Å for LuIII to 0.58 Å for LaIII) and the average cross cavity MnIII-MnIII and oxime oxygen-oxime oxygen distances also increase (MnIII-MnIII distances: 6.48 Å for LuIII to 6.52 Å for LaIII; Ooxime-Ooxime distances: 3.66 Å for LuIII to 3.75 Å for LaIII). In addition, the larger LnIII ions reside further from the MC cavity as indicated by the LnIII-oxime oxygen mean plane (OoxMP) distance. The LnIII-OoxMP distance steadily decreases from LaIII (1.7527(12) Å) to LuIII (1.5575(15) Å).

Dysprosium oxychloride, DyOCl, was synthesized using a simple hydrolysis method with DyCl3·6H2O. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) data was used to determine the crystal structure. The DyOCl compound is isostructural to the matlockite (PbFCl) crystal structure and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm (#129) space group. The crystal structure contains the alternating cationic layers of (DyO)n and anionic layers of nCl? along the c-axis. The structural data including unit cell, volume, and density of DyOCl were compared to other rare-earth oxychloride data from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) and our previous study on TbOCl. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was performed on DyOCl and peaks observed at 543 and 744 cm?1 were attributed to Dy–O and Dy–Cl. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed irregularly shaped crystals. Hot-stage XRD, thermogravimetry, as well as differential scanning calorimetry coupled to a gas chromatograph and a mass spectrometer (evolved gas analysis) were performed on DyCl3·6H2O to understand the phase transformation to DyOCl (and Dy2O3) as a function of temperature and time at temperature.

Graphical Abstract
The reaction of the potentially bidentate ambidentate N,O-donor ligands 3-hydroxy-2-pyridinecarboxylic acid (Hhpc) and 3-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (Hhhp) with trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] led to the isolation of the products [ReOCl(hpc)2] (from acetonitrile) and [ReOCl2(hhp)(PPh3)] (from ethanol) respectively. In both complexes hpc and hhp are coordinated as bidentate N,O-donor chelates, rather than as O,O-donor ligands. From the reaction of [Re(CO)5Cl] and Hhhp·HCl in ethanol the neutral complex fac-[Re(CO)3Cl(Hhhp)] was obtained, with N,O-coordination of Hhhp. Spectroscopic data and the X-ray crystal structures of the complexes are reported.Two mono-nuclear axially distorted octahedral copper(II) complexes have been prepared and characterized via FT-IR, UV–Visible, elctrochemical, electron spin resonance and powder and single crystal XRD techniques. The complexes consist of a phenanthroline and two carboxylate ligands each bonded in bidentate fashion. Carboxylates are ortho-nitro-2-phenyl acetate (L1) and para-chloro-2-phenyl acetate (L2). Structural study showed that both complexes possess Jahn–Teller distorted octahedral geometry. The bulk purity was assessed from the matching experimental and simulated powder XRD spectra. The results of spectroscopic techniques are consistent with each other. ESR data revealed single electron occupancy of dx2 ? y2 orbital with 2B1g as ground state typical of tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry. Electrochemical solution study showed diffusion controlled electron transfer processes with diffusion co-efficient values of 10.323?×?10–8 cm2s–1 and 0.972?×?10–8 cm2s–1 for 1 and 2. Complexes exhibited excellent DNA-binding activity studied via UV–Visible spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, florescence spectroscopy and viscometry yielding Kb values of 1.871?×?104 M–1 (1) and 1.577?×?104 M–1 (2), 0.38?×?104 M–1 (1) and 6.39?×?104 M–1 (2) and 2.1?×?106 M–1 (1) and 2.0?×?06 M–1 (2), respectively, for the first three techniques. Complexes possess good antifungal activity against three fungal strains.

Two molecule of compound 5 crystallized in a non symmetrical manner with four co-crystallized water molecules which play an important role in the crystal packing as strong hydrogen-bond donors.Two Ag(I)-based coordination polymers, namely [Ag2(3,3′-tmbpt)(o-Hbdc)2]·H2O (1) and [Ag8(3,3′-tmbpt)4(1,2,4-Hbtc)4(H2O)] (2) (3,3′-tmbpt?=?1-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole, o-H2bdc?=?1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid and 1,2,4-H3btc?=?1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic acid), have been synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, elemental analyses, infrared spectra, powder X-ray diffraction analyses and thermogravimetric analyses have been carried out to characterize the structures of 1 and 2. Compound 1 shows a (3,4)-connected 2D layered structure with a Schläfli symbol of (42·6)(42·63·8). The intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions extend the 2D layer into a 3D supramolecular architecture. Compound 2 exhibits a (3,3)-connected double-layered structure with a Schläfli symbol of (4·8·10)2(82·10)2. The intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions link the double-layers to form a 3D supramolecular architecture. Moreover, there are intramolecular and intermolecular π–π interactions in 1 and 2, which stabilize the whole 3D supramolecular architectures. The band gaps of 1 and 2 are 3.19 and 3.09 eV, respectively, indicating the potential of 1 and 2 as semiconductive materials with wide band gaps. Moreover, 1 and 2 emit intense blue-green light, which may be potential photoactive materials.
