Crystal structure of bis(3-carboxy-1-methylpyridinium) octabromide
The crystal structure of the title salt, bis(3-carboxy-1-methylpyridinium) octabromide, 2C7H8NO2+ · Br82 − , consists of 3-carboxy-1-methylpyridinium (N-methylnicotinic acid) cations, which are stacked between relatively rare [Br8]2 – anions. The polybromide [Br8]2 – anion has point group symmetry \overline{1} and can be described as being composed of two [Br3] − anions connected with a Br2 molecule in a Z-shaped manner. Contacts between neighboring octabromide anions ensure the creation of pseudo-polymeric chains propagating along [111]. The organic cations are located between anionic chains and are connected to ...

The formation and crystal structure of a co-crystal based upon 1,4-diiodoperchlorobenzene (C6I2Cl4) as the halogen-bond donor along with naphthalene (nap) as the acceptor is reported. The co-crystal [systematic name: 1,2,4,5-tetrachloro-3,6-diiodobenzene – naphthalene, (C6I2Cl4) · (nap)] generates a chevron-like structure that is held together primarily by π -type halogen bonds (i.e. C — I... π contacts) between the components.

Growth and characterization of a new inorganic metal – halide crystal structure, InPb2Cl5
A new solid-state inorganic compound, indium dilead pentachloride, InPb2Cl5, was synthesized by melting InCl and PbCl2 in a vacuum-sealed quartz ampoule. The ampoule was heated to 793   K and then slowly cooled to room temperature to induce crystallization of InPb2Cl5. InPb2Cl5 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system adopting a space group of type P21/c, which is isostructural with other metal halides such as RbPb2Cl5, KPb2Cl5 and TlPb2Cl5. The bulk InPb2Cl5 exhibits a metallic black/grey colour, allowing it to be separated from white/yellow PbCl2 crystals. Due to the incongruent nature of the compound, the pure bu...

Racemic cis-bis[bis(pyrimidin-2-yl)amine- κ N]bis(dicyanamido- κ N1)iron(II) dihydrate: synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis
The title compound, [Fe(C2N3)2(C8H7N5)2] · 2H2O, has been synthesized solvothermally and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Synthesis, crystal structure, and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 3-ferrocenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine
A key step towards utilizing polynuclear metal-based systems in magnetic device applications involves the careful design of ligands. This strategic planning aims to produce metal assemblies that exhibit some kind of `switch' mechanism. Towards this end, a ligand that incorporates a redox-active functional group (ferrocene) is reported. This communication presents the multi-step synthesis, characterization (1H and 13C NMR), and structural analysis (single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Hirshfeld surface analysis) of 3-ferrocenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine, [Fe(C5H5)(C13H11N4)].

Its crystal structure was solved and refined by means of synchrotron-based single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The title compound crystallizes in the pyrite structure type (space group Pa\overline{3}, No. 205). The Si atom occupies a site with multiplicity 4 (Wyckoff letter b, site symmetry .\overline{3}.), while the N atom is located on a site with multiplicity 8 (Wyckoff letter c, site symmetry .3.). The crystal structure of SiN2 is comprised of slightly distorted [SiN6] octahedra interconnected with each o...

Crystal structure of a 1:1 co-crystal of quabodepistat (OPC-167832) with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid using microcrystal electron diffraction
Quabodepistat [(5-{[(3R,4R)-1-(4-chloro-2,6-difluorophenyl)-3,4-dihydroxypiperidin-4-yl]methoxy}-8-fluoro-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one); C21H20ClF3N2O4] and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5DHBA; C7H6O4) were successfully co-crystallized. Given the small size of the crystals (1 × 0.2 × 0.2   µ m) the structure was solved via microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED). The C — O and C=O bond-length ratio of the carboxylic group in 2,5DHBA is 1.08 (1.34   Å /1.24   Å ), suggesting that 2,5DHBA remains protonated. Therefore, the material is a co-crystal rather than a salt. The amide group of quabodepistat particip...

2,6-Dibromo-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid
The title compound, 2,6-dibromo-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid (DBrTMBA), C10H10Br2O5, was obtained by bromination and transhalogenation of 2-iodo-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid with KBrO3. Like the previously reported 2,6-diiodo-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid (DITMBA), the structure of the title compound features a catemeric arrangement of DBrTMBA molecules along an endless chain of carboxylic H – carbonyl interactions. A short carbonyl – phenyl contact hints at a possible lone pair(O) – π -hole interaction further stabilizing the chain-like structure over a dimeric arrangement of the carboxylic acid.
