The ability to intentionally construct, through different types of interactions, inorganic–organic hybrid materials with desired properties is the main goal of inorganic crystal engineering. The primary deformation, related to intrinsic interactions within inorganic substructure, and the secondary deformation, mainly caused by the hydrogen bond interactions, are both responsible for polyhedral distortions of halogenidoantimonates(III) with organic cations. The evolution of structural parameters, in particular the Sb—I secondary- and O/N/C—H...I hydrogen bonds, as a function of temperature assists in understanding the contribution of those two distortion factors to the irregularity of [SbI6]3−polyhedra. In tris(piperazine-1,4-diium) bis[hexaiodidoantimonate(III)] pentahydrate, (C4H12N2)3[SbI6]2·5H2O (TPBHP), where the isolated [SbI6]3–units were found, distortion is governed only by O/N/C—H...I hydrogen bonds, whereas in piperazine-1,4-diium bis[tetraiodidoantimonate(III)] tetrahydrate, (C4H12N2)[SbI4]2·4H2O (PBTT), both primary and O—H...I secondary factors cause the deformation of one-dimensional [{SbI4}n]n−chains. The larger in spatial dimensions piperazine-1,4-diium cations, in contrast to the smaller water of crystallization molecules, do not significantly contribute to the octahedral distortion, especially in PBTT. The formation of isolated [SbI6]3−ions in TPBHP is the result of specific second coordination sphere hydrogen bond interactions that stabilize the hybrid structure and simultaneously effectively separate and prevent [SbI6]3−units from mutual interactions. The temperature-induced changes, further supported by the analysis of data retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database, illustrate the significance of both primary and secondary distortion factors on the deformation of octahedra. Also, a comparison of packing features in the studied hybrids with those in the non-metal containing piperazine-1,4-diium diiodide diiodine (C4H12N2)I2·I2(PDD) confirms the importance and hierarchy of different types of interactions.

X-ray powder diffraction experiments are performed to prove the possible crystallization of nitric acid dihydrate (HNO3·2H2O, further denoted NAD) and to determine the best thermal conditions for growing a single crystal. It is shown that the kinetic behaviour of NAD strongly depends on the preliminary thermal treatment. One good single crystal obtained by an in situ adapted Bridgman method procedure enabled determination of the crystal structure. The intensities of diffracted lines with h odd are all very weak. The H atom of nitric acid is delocalized to one water molecule leading to an association of equimolar nitrate (NO3 −) and an H5O2 + ionic group. The asymmetric unit contains two such molecules. These two molecules are related by a pseudo a/2 translation (with a 0.3 Å mean atomic distance difference), except for one H atom of the water molecules (0.86 Å) because of their different orientations in the two molecules. The two molecules, linked by very strong hydrogen bonds, are arranged in layers. Two layers which are linked by weaker hydrogen bonds are approximately oriented along the c axis. The structure may be described by translations of this set of two layers along the c axis without hydrogen bonds leading to a two-dimensional hydrogen-bond network. The structures of the monohydrate (NAM) and trihydrate (NAT) are re-determined for comparisons. These structures may be described by one- and three-dimensional hydrogen-bond networks, respectively.

The structure of 4,4′-thiodiphenol–1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (2/1), (C12H10O2S)2.C10H24N4 (1), monoclinic, P21/c, a = 11.1602 (12), b = 10.8084 (12), c = 14.001 (2) Å, β = 103.127 (10)°, with Z = 2, contains phenolate anions [HOC6H4SC6H4O]− and diprotonated cyclam cations [C10H26N4]2+: these cations have the centrosymmetric trans-III conformation and the two additional protons are contained within the N4 cavity of the macrocycle, held by three-centre hydrogen bonds. The phenolate anions form chains, held together by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, and pairs of these chains are cross-linked into ladders by the [cyclamH2]2+ cations by means of N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The structure of 4,4′-sulfonyldiphenol–1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (2/1), (C12H10O4S)2.C10H24N4 (2), triclinic, P1¯, a = 10.9345 (10), b = 11.0060 (10), c = 14.350 (2) Å, α = 79.532 (10), β = 86.739 (10), γ = 87.471 (10)°, with Z = 2, contains phenolate anions [HOC6H4SO2C6H4O]− and cyclam dications [C10H26N4]2+: the phenolate anions are linked into antiparallel chains, cross-linked by the cyclam cations. There are two distinct types of ladder in the structure running along (0, y, 0) and (1\over2, y, 1\over2), respectively, and these bundled ladders are tied together by C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a continuous three-dimensional array. In 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane–1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane–methanol (2/1/1), (C20H18O3)2.C10H24N4.CH4O (3), triclinic, P1¯, a = 8.2208 (11), b = 16.245 (2), c = 17.337 (2) Å, α = 81.694 (13), β = 89.656 (14), γ = 86.468 (12)°, with Z = 2, the structure contains centrosymmetric diprotonated cyclam cations of precisely the same type as found in (1), phenolate anions [(HOC6H4)2C(CH3)C6H4O]− and neutral methanol molecules. The molecular components are linked together by nine different types of hydrogen bond, five of O—H...O type and four of N—H...O type, to form chains running in the [001], [010] (two sets), [211] and [211¯] directions. The combination of these chain motifs generates two independent three-dimensional networks which are fully interwoven, but not bonded to one another.

Six closely related N-[3-(2-chlorobenzoyl)-5-ethylthiophen-2-yl]arylamides have been synthesized and structurally characterized, together with a representative reaction intermediate. In each of N-[3-(2-chlorobenzoyl)-5-ethylthiophen-2-yl]benzamide, C20H16ClNO2S, (I), N-[3-(2-chlorobenzoyl)-5-ethylthiophen-2-yl]-4-phenylbenzamide, C26H20ClNO2S, (II), and 2-bromo-N-[3-(2-chlorobenzoyl)-5-ethylthiophen-2-yl]benzamide, C20H15BrClNO2S, (III), the molecules are disordered over two sets of atomic sites, with occupancies of 0.894 (8) and 0.106 (8) in (I), 0.832 (5) and 0.168 (5) in (II), and 0.7006 (12) and 0.2994 (12) in (III). In each of N-[3-(2-chlorobenzoyl)-5-ethylthiophen-2-yl]-2-iodobenzamide, C20H15ClINO2S, (IV), and N-[3-(2-chlorobenzoyl)-5-ethylthiophen-2-yl]-2-methoxybenzamide, C21H18ClNO3S, (V), the molecules are fully ordered, but in N-[3-(2-chlorobenzoyl)-5-ethylthiophen-2-yl]-2,6-difluorobenzamide, C20H14ClF2NO2S, (VI), which crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group C2/c, one of the two independent molecules is fully ordered, while the other is disordered over two sets of atomic sites having occupancies of 0.916 (3) and 0.084 (3). All of the molecules in compounds (I)–(VI) exhibit an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond. The molecules of (I) and (VI) are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form finite zero-dimensional dimers, which are cyclic in (I) and acyclic in (VI), those of (III) are linked by C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form simple chains, and those of (IV) and (V) are linked into different types of chains of rings, built in each case from a combination of C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds. Two C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules of (II) into sheets containing three types of ring. In benzotriazol-1-yl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate, C15H13N3O4, (VII), the benzoate component is planar and makes a dihedral angle of 84.51 (6)° with the benzotriazole unit. Comparisons are made with related compounds.
