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.

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.

The crystal structures of calcium citrate hexahydrate, calcium citrate tetrahydrate, and anhydrous calcium citrate have been solved using laboratory and synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. Both the hexahydrate and tetrahydrate structures are characterized by layers of edge-sharing Ca coordination polyhedra, including triply chelated Ca. An additional isolated Ca is coordinated by water molecules, and two uncoordinated water molecules occur in the hexahydrate structure. The previously reported polymorph of the tetrahydrate contains the same layers, but only two H2O coordinated to the isolated Ca and two uncoordinated water molecules. Anhydrous calcium citrate has a three-dimensional network structure of Ca coordination polyhedra. The new polymorph of calcium citrate tetrahydrate is the major crystalline phase in several commercial calcium supplements.

Four 2,2′-bisindolylmethanes (BIMs), a useful class of polyindolyl species joined to a central carbon, were synthesized using salicylaldehyde derivatives and simple acid catalysis; these are 2-[bis(3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)methyl]-6-methylphenol, (IIa), 2-[bis(3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)methyl]-4,6-dichlorophenol, (IIb), 2-[bis(3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)methyl]-4-nitrophenol, (IIc), and 2-[bis(3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)methyl]-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol, (IId). BIMs (IIa) and (IIb) were characterized crystallographically as the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) disolvates, i.e. C26H24N2O·2C2H6OS and C25H20Cl2N2O·2C2H6OS, respectively. Both form strikingly similar one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding chain motifs with the DMSO solvent molecules. BIM (IIa) packs into double layers of chains whose orientations alternate every double layer, while (IIb) forms more simply packed chains along the a axis. BIM (IIa) has a remarkably long c axis.

The preferred hydrogen-bonding patterns in the crystal structures of 5-propyl-2-thiouracil, C7H10N2OS, (I), 5-methoxy-2-thiouracil, C5H6N2O2S, (II), 5-methoxy-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylacetamide (1/1), C5H6N2O2S·C4H9NO, (IIa), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil, C6H8N2OS, (III), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (1/1), C6H8N2OS·C5H9NO, (IIIa), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylformamide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C3H7NO, (IIIb), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylacetamide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C4H9NO, (IIIc), and 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–dimethyl sulfoxide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C2H6OS, (IIId), were analysed. All eight structures containR22(8) patterns. In (II), (IIa), (III) and (IIIa), they are formed by two N—H...S hydrogen bonds, and in (I) by alternating pairs of N—H...S and N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In contrast, the structures of (IIIb), (IIIc) and (IIId) contain `mixed'R22(8) patterns with one N—H...S and one N—H...O hydrogen bond, as well asR22(8) motifs with two N—H...O hydrogen bonds.

The crystal structures of isostructural 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate tetrahydrate salts of nickel(II) and cobalt(II) have been determined using Monte Carlo simulated annealing techniques and laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. These compounds crystallize in the triclinic space groupP\bar{1}, withZ= 2;a= 10.0851 (4),b= 10.9429 (5),c= 6.2639 (3) Å, α = 98.989 (2), β = 87.428 (3), γ = 108.015 (2)°,V= 649.32 (5) Å3for [Ni(C12H6O4)(H2O)4], anda= 10.1855 (6),b= 10.8921 (6),c= 6.2908 (5) Å, α = 98.519 (4), β = 87.563 (4), γ = 108.304 (3)°,V= 655.28 (8) Å3for [Co(C12H6O4)(H2O)4]. The water-molecule H atoms were located by quantum chemical geometry optimization usingCASTEP. The structure consists of alternating hydrocarbon and metal/oxygen layers parallel to theacplane. Each naphthalenedicarboxylate anion bridges two metal cations; each carboxyl group is monodentate. The resulting structure contains infinite chains parallel to [111]. The octahedral coordination sphere of the metal cations containstranscarboxylates and four equatorial water molecules. The carboxyl groups are rotated by 15–20° out of the naphthalene plane. The metal/oxygen layers are characterized by an extensive hydrogen-bonding network. The orientations of the carboxyl groups are determined by the formation of short (O...O = 2.53 Å) hydrogen bonds between the carbonyl O atoms and theciswater molecules. Molecular mechanics energy minimizations suggest that coordination and hydrogen-bonding interactions are most important in determining the crystal packing.

Single crystals of magnesium copper(II) bis[orthophosphate(V)] monohydrate, Mg1.65Cu1.35(PO4)2·H2O, were grown under hydrothermal conditions. The crystal structure is formed by three types of cationic sites and by two unique (PO4)3−anions. One site is occupied by Cu2+, the second site by Mg2+and the third site by a mixture of the two cations with an Mg2+:Cu2+occupancy ratio of 0.657 (3):0.343 (3). The structure is built up from more or less distorted [MgO6] and [(Mg/Cu)O5(H2O)] octahedra, [CuO5] square-pyramids and regular PO4tetrahedra, leading to a framework structure. Within this framework, two types of layers parallel to (-101) can be distinguished. The first layer is formed by [Cu2O8] dimers linked to PO4tetrahedraviacommon edges. The second, more corrugated layer results from the linkage between [(Cu/Mg)2O8(H2O)2] dimers and [MgO6] octahedra by common edges. The PO4units link the two types of layers, leaving space for channels parallel [101], into which the H atoms of the water molecules protrude. The latter are involved in O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions (one bifurcated) with framework O atoms across the channels.

Metal selenates crystallize in many instances in isomorphic structures of the corresponding sulfates. Sodium magnesium selenate decahydrate, Na2Mg(SeO4)2·10H2O, and sodium magnesium selenate dihydrate, Na2Mg(SeO4)2·2H2O, were synthesized by preparing solutions of Na2SeO4 and MgSeO4·6H2O with different molar ratios. The structures contain different Mg octahedra, i.e. [Mg(H2O)6] octahedra in the decahydrate and [MgO4(H2O)2] octahedra in the dihydrate. The sodium polyhedra are also different, i.e. [NaO2(H2O)4] in the decahydrate and [NaO6(H2O)] in the dihydrate. The selenate tetrahedra are connected with the chains of Na polyhedra in the two structures. O—H...O hydrogen bonding is observed in both structures between the coordinating water molecules and selenate O atoms.

The crystal structures of the diastereoisomers formed between the hydrogen-D-tartrate anion and the cations (+)-(Λ-[Co(en)2(NO2)2]+ (1) and (-)-(Δ)-[Co(en)2(NO2)2]+ (2) have been determined by three-dimensional X-ray analysis. The crystal structures are comprised of octahedrally coordinated cobalt atoms, hydrogentartrate anions and water molecules interconnected by a complex hydrogen bonding network. In (1), columns of complex parallel to a 21 screw axis along a, are linked via hydrogen bonding contacts to a total of six chains of 'head-to-tail' hydrogentartrate strands. In contrast, in (2) the chains of hydrogentartrate anions associate with each other to form well defined 'walls' which sandwich hydrogen-bonded columns of complex cations such that the structure may be thought of as a layer structure of hydrogentartrate anions and complex cations. Crystals of both compounds are orthorhombic, space group P212121 with Z = 4, unit cell parameters for (1): a 7.670(1), b 12.160(1), c 18.028(1)Ǻ, V 1681.4 Ǻ3 and for (2): a 7.735(2), b 8.505(5), c 26.846(9) Ǻ, V 1766 1 Ǻ3. The structures were each refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to final R 0.026, Rw 0.027 for 1764 reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ(I) for (1) and R 0.065, Rw 0.073 for 1322 reflections for (2).
