The study of quadruple bonds between transition metals, in particular those of dimolybdenum, has revealed much about the two-electron bond. The solid-state structure of the quadruple-bonded dimolybdenum(II) complex tetrakis(μ-4-trifluoromethylbenzoato-κ2 O:O′)dimolybdenum(II) 0.762-pentane 0.238-tetrahydrofuran solvate, [Mo2(p-O2CC6H4CF3)4·2THF]·0.762C5H12·0.238C4H8O or [Mo2(C8H4F3O2)4(C4H8O)2]·0.762C5H12·0.238C4H8O is reported. The complex crystallizes within a triclinic cell and low symmetry (P\overline{1}) results from the intercalated pentane/THF solvent molecules. The paddlewheel structure at 100 K has inversion symmetry and comprises four bridging carboxylate ligands encases the Mo2(II,II) core that is characterized by two axially coordinated THF molecules and an Mo—Mo distance of 2.1098 (7) Å.

The solid-state structure of a dimeric β-diketiminate magnesium(II) complex is discussed. The compound, di-μ-iodido-bis[({4-amino-1,5-bis[2,6-bis(propan-2-yl)phenyl]pent-3-en-2-ylidene}azanido-κ2N,N′)magnesium(II)] toluene sesquisolvate, [Mg2(C29H41N2)2I2]·1.5C7H8, crystallizes as two independent molecules, each with 2/mcrystallographic site symmetry, located at Wyckoff sites 2cand 2d. These have symmetry-equivalent magnesium atoms bridged by μ-iodide ligands with very similar Mg—I distances. The two Mg atoms are located slightly below (∼0.5 Å) the least-squares plane defined by N–C—C–N atoms in the ligand scaffold, and are approximately tetrahedrally coordinated. One and one-half toluene solvent molecules are disordered with respect to mirror-site symmetry at Wyckoff sites 4iand 2a, respectively. In the former case, two toluene molecules interact in an off-center parallel stacking arrangement; the shortest C to C′ (π–π) distance of 3.72 (1) Å was measured for this interaction.

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C7H7N2+·BF4−, comprises two independent but nearly identical formula units. The solid-state structure comprises corrugated layers of cations and anions, formed by C—H...F hydrogen bonding, that are approximately parallel to (010). Further C—H...F hydrogen bonding consolidates the three-dimensional architecture. The sample was refined as a two-component non-merohedral twin.

The solid state structure of the title compound, C17H24N2O4, reveals the imide unit to be planar and perpendicular to the plane of the benzene ring. In the crystal structure, adjacent molecules are hydrogen bonded through the amide unit.

The solid-state structure of the new compound μ-oxido-bis[dichloridotris(tetrahydrofuran-κO)titanium(III)], [Ti2Cl4O(C4H8O)6], at 150 K has been determined. The crystal has monoclinic (C2/c) symmetry and the complex features C 2 symmetry about the bridging O atom. Positional disorder is evident in one of the three tetrahydrofuran environments. A post-Hartree–Fock computational analysis indicates that the complex has nearly degenerate triplet and singlet spin states, with the former favoured slightly by ca 2 kJ mol−1.

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C7H7N2+·ClO4−, comprises two independent formula units. The solid-state structure comprises corrugated layers of cations and of anions, approximately parallel to (010). The supramolecular layers are stabilized and connected by C—H...O hydrogen bonding to consolidate a three-dimensional architecture. A close pyridinium–perchlorate N...O contact [2.867 (5) Å] is noted. The crystal was refined as an inversion twin.
