    In the title thio-semicarbazone, C11H15N3S, the p-tolyl-N-H and imino-N-H groups are anti and syn, respectively, to the central thione-S atom. This allows for the formation of an intra-molecular p-tolyl-N-H⋯N(imino) hydrogen bond. The mol-ecule is twisted with the dihedral angle between the p-tolyl ring and the non-hydrogen atoms of the N=CMe2 residue being 29.27 (8)°. The crystal packing features supra-molecular layers lying in the bc plane whereby centrosymmetric aggregates sustained by eight-membered thio-amide {⋯HNCS}2 synthons are linked by further N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds. Layers are connected via methyl-C-H⋯π inter-actions. The supra-molecular aggregation was further investigated by an analysis of the Hirshfeld surface and comparison made to related structures.

    The asymmetric unit of the centrosymmetric title salt, C17H17F6N2O+·C2Cl3O2 -, comprises a single ion-pair. The hy-droxy-O and ammonium-N atoms lie to the same side of the cation, a disposition maintained by a charge-assisted ammonium-N-H⋯O(hy-droxy) hydrogen bond [the Oh-Cm-Cm-Na (h = hy-droxy, m = methine, a = ammonium) torsion angle is 58.90 (19)°]. The piperidin-1-ium group is approximately perpendicular to the quinolinyl residue [Cq-Cm-Cm-Na (q = quinolin-yl) is -178.90 (15)°] so that the cation, to a first approximation, has the shape of the letter L. The most prominent feature of the supra-molecular association in the crystal is the formation of chains along the a-axis direction, being stabilized by charge-assisted hydrogen-bonds. Thus, ammonium-N+-H⋯O-(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen bonds are formed whereby two ammonium cations bridge a pair of carboxyl-ate-O atoms, leading to eight-membered {⋯O⋯HNH}2 synthons. The resulting four-ion aggregates are linked into the supra-molecular chain via charge-assisted hydroxyl-O-H⋯O-(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen bonds. The connections between the chains, leading to a three-dimensional architecture, are of the type C-X⋯π, for X = Cl and F. The analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface points to the importance of X⋯H contacts to the surface (X = F, 25.4% and X = Cl, 19.7%) along with a significant contribution from O⋯H hydrogen-bonds (10.2%). Conversely, H⋯H contacts, at 12.4%, make a relatively small contribution to the surface.

    The title compound, C17H15N3O2, is a monoclinic polymorph (P21/c with Z' = 1) of the previously reported triclinic (P-1 with Z' = 2) form [Gajera et al. (2013 ▸). Acta Cryst. E69, o736-o737]. The mol-ecule in the monoclinic polymorph features a central pyrazolyl ring with an N-bound p-tolyl group and a C-bound 1,3-benzodioxolyl fused-ring system on either side of the C atom bearing the amino group. The dihedral angles between the central ring and the N- and C-bound rings are 50.06 (5) and 27.27 (5)°, respectively. The angle between the pendent rings is 77.31 (4)°, indicating the mol-ecule has a twisted conformation. The five-membered dioxolyl ring has an envelope conformation with the methyl-ene C atom being the flap. The relative disposition of the amino and dioxolyl substituents is syn. One of the independent mol-ecules in the triclinic form has a similar syn disposition but the other has an anti arrangement of these substituents. In the crystal structure of the monoclinic form, mol-ecules assemble into supra-molecular helical chains via amino-pyrazolyl N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. These are linked into layers via C-H⋯π inter-actions, and layers stack along the a axis with no specific inter-actions between them.

    The title compound, [Sn(CH3)2(C5H8NOS2)2], has the Sn(IV) atom bound by two methyl groups which lie over the weaker Sn-S bonds formed by two asymmetrically chelating di-thio-carbamate ligands so that the coordination geometry is skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal. The most prominent feature of the mol-ecular packing are secondary Sn⋯S inter-actions [Sn⋯S = 3.5654 (7) Å] that lead to centrosymmetric dimers. These are connected into a three-dimensional architecture via methyl-ene-C-H⋯S and methyl-C-H⋯O(morpholino) inter-actions. The Sn⋯S inter-actions are clearly evident in the Hirshfeld surface analysis of the title compound along with a number of other inter-molecular contacts.

    The Sn(IV) atom in the title diorganotin compound, [Sn(C7H6F)2Cl2(C2H6OS)2], is located on a centre of inversion, resulting in the C2Cl2O2 donor set having an all-trans disposition of like atoms. The coordination geometry approximates an octa-hedron. The crystal features C-H⋯F, C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯π inter-actions, giving rise to a three-dimensional network. The respective influences of the Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl and F⋯H/H⋯F contacts to the mol-ecular packing are clearly evident from the analysis of the Hirshfeld surface.

    The title organoselenium compound, C19H13ClO3Se {systematic name: 2-[(4-chloro-phen-yl)selan-yl]-2H,3H,4H,5H,6H-naphtho-[1,2-b]pyran-5,6-dione}, has the substituted 2-pyranyl ring in a half-chair conformation with the methyl-ene-C atom bound to the methine-C atom being the flap atom. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic regions of the mol-ecule is 9.96 (9)° and indicates a step-like conformation. An intra-molecular Se⋯O inter-action of 2.8122 (13) Å is noted. In the crystal, π-π contacts between naphthyl rings [inter-centroid distance = 3.7213 (12) Å] and between naphthyl and chloro-benzene rings [inter-centroid distance = 3.7715 (13) Å], along with C-Cl⋯π(chloro-benzene) contacts, lead to supra-molecular layers parallel to the ab plane, which are connected into a three-dimensional architecture via methyl-ene-C-H⋯O(carbon-yl) inter-actions. The contributions of these and other weak contacts to the Hirshfeld surface is described.

    The title compound, (C6H11)3PS (systematic name: tri-cyclo-hexyl-λ(5)-phosphane-thione), is a triclinic (P-1, Z' = 1) polymorph of the previously reported ortho-rhom-bic form (Pnma, Z' = 1/2) [Kerr et al. (1977 ▸). Can. J. Chem. 55, 3081-3085; Reibenspies et al. (1996 ▸). Z. Kristallogr. 211, 400]. While conformational differences exist between the non-symmetric mol-ecule in the triclinic polymorph, cf. the mirror-symmetric mol-ecule in the ortho-rhom-bic form, these differences are not chemically significant. The major feature of the mol-ecular packing in the triclinic polymorph is the formation of linear chains along the a axis sustained by methine-C-H⋯S(thione) inter-actions. The chains pack with no directional inter-actions between them. The analysis of the Hirshfeld surface for both polymorphs indicates a high degree of similarity, being dominated by H⋯H (ca 90%) and S⋯H/H⋯S contacts.

    The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, [Sn(C4H9)2(C5H10NOS2)2], is generated by a crystallographic mirror plane, with the SnIV atom and the two inner methyl-ene C atoms of the butyl ligands lying on the mirror plane; statistical disorder is noted in the two terminal ethyl groups, which deviate from mirror symmetry. The di-thio-carbamate ligand coordinates to the metal atom in an asymmetric mode with the resulting C2S4 donor set defining a skew trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry; the n-butyl groups are disposed to lie over the longer Sn-S bonds. Supra-molecular chains aligned along the a-axis direction and sustained by methyl-ene-C-H⋯S(weakly coordinating) inter-actions feature in the mol-ecular packing. A Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals the dominance of H⋯H contacts in the crystal.

    The title compound, [Cd2(C8H8NS2)4], is a centrosymmetric dimer with both chelating and μ2-tridentate di-thio-carbamate ligands. The resulting S5 donor set defines a Cd(II) coordination geometry inter-mediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal-bipyramidal, but tending towards the former. The packing features C-H⋯S and C-H⋯π inter-actions, which generate a three-dimensional network. The influence of these inter-actions, along with intra-dimer π-π inter-actions between chelate rings, has been investigated by an analysis of the Hirshfeld surface.

    The crystal and mol-ecular structures of the two title organotin di-thio-carbamate compounds, [Sn(C4H9)2(C7H14NO2S2)2], (I), and [Sn(C6H5)3(C5H10NOS2)], (II), are described. Both structures feature asymmetrically bound di-thio-carbamate ligands leading to a skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry for the metal atom in (I) and a distorted tetra-hedral geometry in (II). The complete mol-ecule of (I) is generated by a crystallographic twofold axis (Sn site symmetry 2). In the crystal of (I), mol-ecules self-assemble into a supra-molecular array parallel to (10-1) via methyl-ene-C-H⋯O(meth-oxy) inter-actions. In the crystal of (II), supra-molecular dimers are formed via pairs of weak phenyl-C-H⋯π(phen-yl) contacts. In each of (I) and (II), the specified assemblies connect into a three-dimensional architecture without directional inter-actions between them. Hirshfeld surface analyses confirm the importance of H⋯H contacts in the mol-ecular packing of each of (I) and (II), and in the case of (I), highlight the importance of short meth-oxy-H⋯H(but-yl) contacts between layers.

    The full mol-ecule of the binuclear title compound, [Cd2Cl2(C6H8O4)(C6H8N2)2(H2O)2], is generated by the application of a centre of inversion located at the middle of the central CH2-CH2 bond of the adipate dianion; the latter chelates a CdII atom at each end. Along with two carboxyl-ate-O atoms, the CdII ion is coordinated by the two N atoms of the chelating benzene-1,2-di-amine ligand, a Cl- anion and an aqua ligand to define a distorted octa-hedral CdClN2O3 coordination geometry with the monodentate ligands being mutually cis. The disparity in the Cd-N bond lengths is related to the relative trans effect exerted by the Cd-O bonds formed by the carboxyl-ate-O and aqua-O atoms. The packing features water-O-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) and benzene-1,2-di-amine-N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, leading to layers that stack along the a-axis direction. The lack of directional inter-actions between the layers is confirmed by a Hirshfeld surface analysis.

    The title CuII complex, [Cu(C13H11N2OS2)2], features a trans-N2S2 donor set as a result of the CuII atom being located on a crystallographic centre of inversion and being coordinated by thiol-ate-S and imine-N atoms derived from two di-thio-carbazate anions. The resulting geometry is distorted square-planar. In the crystal, π(chelate ring)-π(fur-yl) [inter-centroid separation = 3.6950 (14) Å and angle of inclination = 5.33 (13)°] and phenyl-C-H⋯π(phen-yl) inter-actions sustain supra-molecular layers lying parallel to (02). The most prominent inter-actions between layers, as confirmed by an analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface, are phenyl-H⋯H(phen-yl) contacts. Indications for Cu⋯Cg(fur-yl) contacts (Cu⋯Cg = 3.74 Å) were also found. Inter-action energy calculations suggest the contacts between mol-ecules are largely dispersive in nature.

    The title compound, C16H18N2O3, is constructed about a central oxopyridazinyl ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0047 Å), which is connected to an ethyl-acetate group at the N atom closest to the carbonyl group, and benzyl and methyl groups second furthest and furthest from the carbonyl group, respectively. An approximately orthogonal relationship exists between the oxopyridazinyl ring and the best plane through the ethyl-acetate group [dihedral angle = 77.48 (3)°]; the latter lies to one side of the central plane [the Nr-Nr-Cm-Cc (r = ring, m = methyl-ene, c = carbon-yl) torsion angle being 104.34 (9)°]. In the crystal, both H atoms of the N-bound methyl-ene group form methyl-ene-C-H⋯O(ring carbon-yl) or N(pyridazin-yl) inter-actions, resulting in the formation of a supra-molecular tape along the a-axis direction. The tapes are assembled into a three-dimensional architecture by methyl- and phenyl-C-H⋯O(ring carbon-yl) and phenyl-C-H⋯O(ester carbon-yl) inter-actions. The analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface indicates the dominance of H⋯H contacts to the overall surface (i.e. 52.2%). Reflecting other identified points of contact between mol-ecules noted above, O⋯H/H⋯O (23.3%), C⋯H/H⋯C (14.7%) and N⋯H/H⋯N (6.6%) contacts also make significant contributions to the surface.

    The title compound, 2C14H14N4O·H2O, comprises a neutral mol-ecule containing a central pyrazol-3-one ring flanked by an N-bound phenyl group and a C-bound 5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl group (at positions adjacent to the carbonyl substituent), its zwitterionic tautomer, whereby the N-bound proton of the central ring is now resident on the pendant ring, and a water mol-ecule of crystallization. Besides systematic variations in geometric parameters, the two independent organic mol-ecules have broadly similar conformations, as seen in the dihedral angle between the five-membered rings [9.72 (9)° for the neutral mol-ecule and 3.32 (9)° for the zwitterionic tautomer] and in the dihedral angles between the central and pendant five-membered rings [28.19 (8) and 20.96 (8)° (neutral mol-ecule); 11.33 (9) and 11.81 (9)°]. In the crystal, pyrazolyl-N-H⋯O(carbon-yl) and pyrazolium-N-H⋯N(pyrazol-yl) hydrogen bonds between the independent organic mol-ecules give rise to non-symmetric nine-membered {⋯HNNH⋯NC3O} and {⋯HNN⋯HNC3O} synthons, which differ in the positions of the N-bound H atoms. These aggregates are connected into a supra-molecular layer in the bc plane by water-O-H⋯N(pyrazolide), water-O-H⋯O(carbon-yl) and pyrazolyl-N-H⋯O(water) hydrogen bonding. The layers are linked into a three-dimensional architecture by methyl-C-H⋯π(phen-yl) inter-actions. The different inter-actions, in particular the weaker contacts, formed by the organic mol-ecules are clearly evident in the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces, and the calculated electrostatic potentials differentiate the tautomers.

    The title compound, [Cd(C6H12NOS2)2(C4H10N2)], features a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry about the central Cd(II) atom. The di-thio-carbamate ligands are chelating, forming similar Cd-S bond lengths and define the approximate basal plane. One of the N atoms of the piperazine mol-ecule, which adopts a chair conformation, occupies the apical site. In the crystal, supra-molecular layers propagating in the ac plane are formed via hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(hy-droxy), hy-droxy-O-H⋯N(terminal-piperazine) and coordinated-piperazine-N-H⋯O(hy-droxy) hydrogen bonds; the layers also feature methine-C-H⋯S inter-actions and S⋯S [3.3714 (10) Å] short contacts. The layers stack along the b-axis direction with very weak terminal-piperazine-N-H⋯O(hy-droxy) inter-actions between them. An evaluation of the Hirshfeld surfaces confirms the importance of inter-molecular inter-actions involving oxygen and sulfur atoms.

    The title compound, C13H10N2O2 [also called 1-(pyridin-2-yl)-3-(pyridin-3-yl)propane-1,3-dione], features an almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0095 Å) central C3O2 core consolidated by an intra-molecular hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(carbon-yl) hydrogen bond. Twists are evident in the mol-ecule, as seen in the dihedral angles between the central core and the 2- and pyridin-3-yl rings of 8.91 (7) and 15.88 (6)°, respectively. The conformation about the C=C bond [1.3931 (17) Å] is Z, and the N atoms lie to the same side of the mol-ecule. In the mol-ecular packing, supra-molecular chains along the a axis are mediated by π(pyridin-2-yl)-π(pyridin-3-yl) inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.7662 (9) Å]. The observation that chains pack with no directional inter-actions between them is consistent with the calculated electrostatic potential, which indicates that repulsive inter-actions dominate.

    The crystal and mol-ecular structures of two tri-phenyl-tin di-thio-carbamates, [Sn(C6H5)3(C16H16NS2)], (I), and [Sn(C6H5)3(C7H14NO2S2)], (II), are described. In (I), the di-thio-carbamate ligand coordinates the Sn(IV) atom in an asymmetric manner, leading to a highly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry defined by a C3S2 donor set with the weakly bound S atom approximately trans to one of the ipso-C atoms. A similar structure is found in (II), but the di-thio-carbamate ligand coordinates in an even more asymmetric fashion. The packing in (I) features supra-molecular chains along the c axis sustained by C-H⋯π inter-actions; chains pack with no directional inter-actions between them. In (II), supra-molecular layers are formed, similarly sustained by C-H⋯π inter-actions; these stack along the b axis. An analysis of the Hirshfeld surfaces for (I) and (II) confirms the presence of the C-H⋯π inter-actions but also reveals the overall dominance of H⋯H contacts in the respective crystals.

    In the title di-thio-carbazate ester, C16H17N3S2 (systematic name: (Z)-{[(benzyl-sulfan-yl)methane-thio-yl]amino}[1-(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)ethyl-idene]amine), the central methyl-idenehydrazinecarbodi-thio-ate (C2N2S2) core is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0111 Å) and forms dihedral angles of 71.67 (3)° with the approximately orthogonally inclined thio-ester phenyl ring, and 7.16 (7)° with the approximately coplanar substituted pyridyl ring. The latter arrangement and the Z configuration about the imine-C=N bond allows for the formation of an intra-molecular hydrazine-N-H⋯N(pyrid-yl) hydrogen bond that closes an S(6) loop. In the crystal, phenyl-C-H⋯S(thione), methyl-ene-C-H⋯π(pyrid-yl), methyl-ene- and phenyl-C-H⋯π(phen-yl) contacts connect mol-ecules into supra-molecular layers propagating in the bc plane; the layers stack along the a axis with no directional inter-actions between them. The analysis of the Hirshfeld surface indicates the relative importance of an intra-layer phenyl-H⋯H(pyrid-yl) contact upon the mol-ecular packing.

    The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C13H11N3O2S2, comprises two independent mol-ecules (A and B); the crystal structure was determined by employing synchrotron radiation. The mol-ecules exhibit essentially the same features with an almost planar benzo-thia-zole ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.026 and 0.009 Å for A and B, respectively), which forms an inclined dihedral angle with the phenyl ring [28.3 (3) and 29.1 (3)°, respectively]. A difference between the mol-ecules is noted in a twist about the N-S bonds [the C-S-N-N torsion angles = -56.2 (5) and -68.8 (5)°, respectively], which leads to a minor difference in orientation of the phenyl rings. In the mol-ecular packing, A and B are linked into a supra-molecular dimer via pairwise hydrazinyl-N-H⋯N(thiazol-yl) hydrogen bonds. Hydrazinyl-N-H⋯O(sulfon-yl) hydrogen bonds between A mol-ecules assemble the dimers into chains along the a-axis direction, while links between centrosymmetrically related B mol-ecules, leading to eight-membered {⋯HNSO}2 synthons, link the mol-ecules along [001]. The result is an undulating supra-molecular layer. Layers stack along the b-axis direction with benzo-thia-zole-C-H⋯O(sulfon-yl) points of contact being evident. The analyses of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces confirm the relevance of the above inter-molecular inter-actions, but also serve to further differentiate the weaker inter-molecular inter-actions formed by the independent mol-ecules, such as π-π inter-actions. This is also highlighted in distinctive energy frameworks calculated for the individual mol-ecules.

    The title homoleptic Schiff base complexes, [M(C14H9Cl2N2O)2], for M = CoII, (I), and CuII, (II), present distinct coordination geometries despite the Schiff base dianion coordinating via the phenolato-O and imine-N atoms in each case. For (I), the coordination geometry is based on a trigonal bipyramid whereas for (II), a square-planar geometry is found (Cu site symmetry ). In the crystal of (I), discernible supra-molecular layers in the ac plane are sustained by chloro-benzene-C-H⋯O(coordinated), chloro-benzene-C-H⋯π(fused-benzene ring) as well as π(fused-benzene, chloro-benzene)-π(chloro-benzene) inter-actions [inter-centroid separations = 3.6460 (17) and 3.6580 (16) Å, respectively]. The layers inter-digitate along the b-axis direction and are linked by di-chloro-benzene-C-H⋯π(fused-benzene ring) and π-π inter-actions between fused-benzene rings and between chloro-benzene rings [inter-centroid separations = 3.6916 (16) and 3.7968 (19) Å, respectively] . Flat, supra-molecular layers are also found in the crystal of (II), being stabilized by π-π inter-actions formed between fused-benzene rings and between chloro-benzene rings [inter-centroid separations = 3.8889 (15) and 3.8889 (15) Å, respectively]; these stack parallel to [10] without directional inter-actions between them. The analysis of the respective calculated Hirshfeld surfaces indicate diminished roles for H⋯H contacts [26.2% (I) and 30.5% (II)] owing to significant contributions by Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl contacts [25.8% (I) and 24.9% (II)]. Minor contributions by Cl⋯Cl [2.2%] and Cu⋯Cl [1.9%] contacts are indicated in the crystals of (I) and (II), respectively. The inter-action energies largely arise from dispersion terms; the aforementioned Cu⋯Cl contact in (II) gives rise to the most stabilizing inter-action in the crystal of (II).
