4-Nitrobenzoic acid (PNBA) has proved to be a useful ligand for the preparation of metal complexes but the known structures of the alkali metal salts of PNBA do not include the rubidium salt. The structures of the isomorphous potassium and rubidium polymeric coordination complexes with PNBA, namely poly[μ2-aqua-aqua-μ3-(4-nitrobenzoato)-potassium], [K(C7H4N2O2)(H2O)2]n, (I), and poly[μ3-aqua-aqua-μ5-(4-nitrobenzoato)-rubidium], [Rb(C7H4N2O2)(H2O)2]n, (II), have been determined. In (I), the very distorted KO6coordination sphere about the K+centres in the repeat unit comprise two bridging nitro O-atom donors, a single bridging carboxylate O-atom donor and two water molecules, one of which is bridging. In Rb complex (II), the same basicMO6coordination is found in the repeat unit, but it is expanded to RbO9through a slight increase in the accepted Rb—O bond-length range and includes an additional Rb—Ocarboxylatebond, completing a bidentateO,O′-chelate interaction, and additional bridging Rb—Onitroand Rb—Owaterbonds. The comparative K—O and Rb—O bond-length ranges are 2.7352 (14)–3.0051 (14) and 2.884 (2)–3.182 (2) Å, respectively. The structure of (II) is also isomorphous, as well as isostructural, with the known structure of the nine-coordinate caesium 4-nitrobenzoate analogue, (III), in which the Cs—O bond-length range is 3.047 (4)–3.338 (4) Å. In all three complexes, common basic polymeric extensions are found, including two different centrosymmetric bridging interactions through both water and nitro groups, as well as extensions alongcthrough thepara-related carboxylate group, giving a two-dimensional structure in (I). In (II) and (III), three-dimensional structures are generated through additional bridges involving the nitro and water O atoms. In all three structures, the two water molecules are involved in similar intra-polymer O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions to both carboxylate and water O-atom acceptors. A comparison of the varied coordination behaviour of the full set of Li–Cs salts with 4-nitrobenzoic acid is also made.

In the title calcium levulinate complex, [Ca(C5H7O3)2(H2O)2]n, the Ca2+ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and is octacoordinated by two aqua ligands and six O atoms from four symmetry-related carboxylate ligands, giving a distorted square-antiprismatic coordination stereochemistry [Ca—O bond-length range = 2.355 (1)–2.599 (1) Å]. The levulinate ligands act both in a bidentate carboxylO,O′-chelate mode and in a bridging mode through one carboxyl O atom with an inversion-related Ca2+atom, giving a Ca...Ca separation of 4.0326 (7) Å. A coordination polymeric chain structure is generated, extending along thec-axial direction. The coordinating water molecules act as double donors and participate in intra-chain O—H...O hydrogen bonds with carboxyl O atoms, and in inter-chain O—H...O hydrogen bonds with carbonyl O atoms, thus forming an overall three-dimensional structure.

The crystal structure of catena-poly[[[acetato(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)copper(II)]-μ-dicyanamido-κ2 N 1:N 5] trihydrate], {[Cu(C2H3O2)(C2N3)(C12H8N2)]·3H2O} n , consists of a zigzag chain formed by the polymer [Cu(CH3COO)(dca)(phen)] n (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline and dca is dicyanamide), with three water molecules per repeat unit of the polymer. The CuII atom has a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment consisting of two N atoms of the phen ligand, two nitrile N atoms of different dca ligands, one of them axial, and one O atom of the acetate anion. The compound forms a one-dimensional chain using dca as an end-to-end bridging ligand. Non-covalent interactions, π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding mediate the bundling of the polymer chains into a three-dimensional structure, with the water molecules playing an important role in the hydrogen bonding.

The crystal structures of two erbium(III) complexes with 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABAH), namely bis(μ2-4-aminobenzoato-κ2O:O′)bis[bis(4-aminobenzoato-κ2O,O′)diaquaerbium(III)] dihydrate, [Er2(C7H6NO2)6(H2O)4]·2H2O, (I), and 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (CLNBAH), namely poly[hexakis(μ2-4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoato-κ2O:O′)bis(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)dierbium(III)], [Er2(C7H3ClNO4)6(C2H6OS)2]n, (II), have been determined. In the structure of solvatomorphic compound (I), the symmetry-related irregular ErO8coordination polyhedra in the discrete centrosymmetric dinuclear complex comprise two monodentate water molecules and six carboxylate O-atom donors, four from two bidentate carboxylateO,O′-chelate groups and two from the bis-monodentateO:O′-bridging group of the third 4-ABA anion. The Er—O bond-length range is 2.232 (3)–2.478 (3) Å and the Er...Er separation in the dinuclear complex unit is 4.7527 (4) Å. One of the coordinating water molecules is involved in an intra-unit O—H...O hydrogen-bonding association with an inversion-related carboxylate O-atom acceptor. In contrast, the anhydrous compound (II) is polymeric, based on centrosymmetric dinuclear repeat units comprising ErO7coordination polyhedra which involve four O-atom donors from two bidentateO:O′-bridging carboxylate groups, one O-atom donor from the monodentate dimethyl sulfoxide ligand and two O-atom donors from the third bridging CLNBA anion. The latter provides the inter-unit link in the one-dimensional coordination polymer extending along [100]. The Er—O bond-length range in (II) is 2.239 (6)–2.348 (6) Å and the Er...Er separation within the dinuclear unit is 4.4620 (6) Å. In the crystal of (I), extensive inter-dimer O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions involving both the coordinating water molecules and the solvent water molecules, as well as the amine groups of the 4-ABA anions, give an overall three-dimensional network structure. Within this structure are also weak π–π ring interactions between two of the coordinating ligands [ring-centroid separations = 3.676 (3) and 3.711 (2) Å]. With (II), only weak intra-polymer C—H...O, C—H...Cl and C—H...S interactions are present.

In the title hydrated hydrazine compound, C12H17N3O·H2O, the C=N bond adopts an E conformation. In the crystal, water molecules bridge the hydrazine molecules, via N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to the bc plane. There are C—H...π interactions present within the sheets, and further C—H...π interactions link the sheets to form a three-dimensional structure.

The title compound, ammonium catena-[monoboro-monodihydrogendiborate-monohydrogenphosphate] hemihydrate, was obtained under solvothermal conditions using glycol as the solvent. The crystal structure is constructed of one-dimensional infinite borophosphate chains, which are interconnected by ammonium ions and water molecules via a complex hydrogen-bond network to form a three-dimensional structure. The water molecules of crystallization are disordered over inversion centres, and their H atoms were not located.

The structure of mouse liver glutathione S-transferase P1-1 complexed with its substrate glutathione (GSH) has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. No conformational changes in the glutathione moiety or in the protein, other than small adjustments of some side chains, are observed when compared with glutathione adduct complexes. Our structure confirms that the role of Tyr-7 is to stabilize the thiolate by hydrogen bonding and to position it in the right orientation. A comparison of the enzyme–GSH structure reported here with previously described structures reveals rearrangements in a well-defined network of water molecules in the active site. One of these water molecules (W0), identified in the unliganded enzyme (carboxymethylated at Cys-47), is displaced by the binding of GSH, and a further water molecule (W4) is displaced following the binding of the electrophilic substrate and the formation of the glutathione conjugate. The possibility that one of these water molecules participates in the proton abstraction from the glutathione thiol is discussed.

In the title compound, [Tb(C2H3O2)2(C11H10N4)(H2O)2]NO3·H2O, the Tb3+ ion is nine-coordinated in a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry by the three N atoms of the tridentate 1-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazine ligand, four carboxylate O atoms of two chelating acetate groups and two O atoms of the coordinating water molecules. The organic hydrazine ligand is disordered over two orientations with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.52 (3):0.48 (3). All bond lengths in the coordination environment of the Tb3+ ion are slightly larger than those observed in the isostructural Y3+ and Er3+ complexes. In the crystal, the complex cations are linked by pairs of O—H...O hydrogen bonds into dimers. These dimers, nitrate anions and non-coordinating water molecules are joined by O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional structure.
