The title compound, [Ag2(C19H20N2)4]Cl·0.5C2H4Cl2, can be readily generated by treatment of (1-benzyl-3-(2,4,6-tri-methyl-phen-yl)imidazolium chloride with sodium bis-(tri-methyl-sil-yl)amide followed by silver chloride. The mol-ecular structure of the compound was confirmed using NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structure of the title compound at 110 K has monoclinic (P21/c) symmetry. The represented silver compound is of inter-est with respect to anti-bacterial properties and the structure displays a series of weak inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-actions with the chloride counter-anion.

The title coordination polymer, [Co(N3)2(C9H8N2)] n , was synthesized solvothermally. The CoII atom exhibits a distorted octa-hedral [CoN6] coordination geometry with a bidentate 8-amino-quinoline ligand and four azide ligands. Bridging azide ligands result in chains extending along [100]. N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds join the chains to give an extended structure with sheets parallel to (002).

The title compound, C19H30O2Si, has triclinic (P) symmetry at 100 K. The O atom of the epoxide group has a pseudoaxial orientation and the dihedral angle between the cyclo-hexyl and benzene rings is 85.80 (8)°. The C-O-Si-C t (t = tert-but-yl) torsion angle is -177.40 (14)°. In the crystal, pairwise C-H⋯O links connect the mol-ecules into inversion dimers featuring R 2 2(8) loops.

In the title compound, C26H18BrN, the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles with its adjacent anthracene ring system and pendant benzene ring of 87.49 (13) and 62.01 (17)°, respectively. The N—H moiety is sterically blocked from forming a hydrogen bond, but weak C—H...π interactions occur in the extended structure.

In the structure of the title complex, [Zn(C4H2FN2O2)(C10H24N4)]ClO4, the zinc(II) ion forms coordination bonds with the four nitrogen atoms of cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane or [14]aneN4) as well as with the nitrogen atom of a deprotonated 5-fluorouracil ion (FU−). Cyclam adopts a trans-I type conformation within this structure. The coordination structure of the zinc(II) ion is a square pyramid with a distorted base plane formed by the four nitrogen atoms of the cyclam. FU− engages in intermolecular hydrogen bonding with neighboring FU− molecules and with the cyclam molecule.

The title compound, C22H12N2S2, crystallizes in space group P21/c with four mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The heterocyclic mol-ecule is quasi-planar with a dihedral angle between the phenyl rings on the periphery of the mol-ecule of 1.73 (19)°. Short H⋯S (2.92 Å) and C-H⋯π [2.836 (3) Å] contacts are observed in the crystal with shorted π-π stacking distances of 3.438 (3) Å along the b axis. Surprisingly, and unlike a closely related material, this mol-ecule readily forms large crystals by sublimation and by slow evaporation from di-chloro-methane. The maximum absorbance in the UV-Vis spectrum is at 533 nm. Emission was measured upon excitation at 533 nm with a fluorescence λmax of 658 nm and cutoff of 900 nm.

The title compound, C22H24N2O2, crystallizes in space group P21/n. The mol-ecular structure is almost planar except for a tilt of the phenyl rings. The allyl groups on both ends exhibit the trans-form and the connected N atoms show sp 2 character. The mol-ecules are stacked and assembled along the c-axis direction by C-H⋯π inter-actions.

The title compound, [Ag(C15H9N3S2)2]ClO4·2CH3OH, is monoclinic. The AgI atom is coordinated by pyrido N atoms and is two-coordinate; however, the AgI atom has nearby O atoms that can be assumed to be weakly bonded - one from the perchlorate anion and one from the methanol solvate molecule. One of the thienyl groups on a 2,3-bis-(thio-phen-2-yl)pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine is flipped disordered and was refined to occupancies of 68.4 (6) and 31.6 (6)%.

The title compound, [Ru(C19H13N5)2](PF6)2·3C4H10O, was obtained from the reaction of Ru(bimpy)Cl3 [bimpy is 2,6-bis-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine] and bimpy in refluxing ethanol followed by recrystallization from diethyl ether/aceto-nitrile. At 125 K the complex has ortho-rhom-bic (Pca21) symmetry. It is remarkable that the structure is almost centrosymmetric. However, refinement in space group Pbcn leads to disorder and definitely worse results. It is of inter-est with respect to potential catalytic reduction of CO2. The structure displays N-H⋯O, N-H⋯F hydrogen bonding and significant π-π stacking and C-H⋯π stacking inter-actions.

In the title compound, 2C7H7N2O+·C2O4 2-, proton transfer from oxalic acid to the N atom of the heterocycle has occurred to form a 2:1 molecular salt. In the extended structure, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into [100] chains, which feature R 2 2(8) and R 4 4(14) loops.
