The ternary chloride Na3MoCl6 is obtained as red crystals from a disproportionation reaction of molybdenum dichloride, {Mo6}Cl12, in an acidic NaCl/AlCl3 melt at 350 °C. The crystal structure (trigonal, P-31c, a = 687.1(1), c = 1225.3(2) pm, Z = 2, V = 501,0(1) 106 pm3) is that of Na3CrCl6: within a hexagonal closest-packing of chloride ions two thirds of the octahedral voids are filled between the AB double layers with Na+/Mo3+, and between the BA layers with Na+.

The syntheses and crystal structures of benzenesulfonylamino-3-(4-benzenesulfonyloxy-phenyl)-propionic acid (1) and 2-(toluene-4-sulfonylamino)-3-[4-(toluene-4-sulponyloxy)-phenyl]-propionic acid (2) are described. The L-tyrosine cores of the molecules show significant conformational differences. In 1, both organic molecules show intramolecular aromatic π–π stacking and in 2 a very short intermolecular Cα–H···O interaction is seen. The structures of 1 and 2 are compared with those of related materials.

The syntheses and single-crystal structures of Ba2(C2O4)(H2PO3)2 (1) and C2H10N2·Ba(H2O)2(HC2O4)4 (2) are described. Compound 1 is a three-dimensional mixed-anion framework containing BaO9 coordination polyhedra, which approximate to monocapped square anti-prisms: the connectivity of the BaO9 units via edges and triangular faces leads to a sheet structure. The oxalate ion in 1 is substantially twisted about its C–C bond [dihedral angle between the CO2 groups = 33.8 (3)°]. Compound 2 is a molecular salt containing ethylenediammonium dications and [Ba(HC2O4)4(H2O)2]2– dianions, which are linked by O–HLO and N–HLO hydrogen bonds. The BaO10 coordination polyhedron can be described as a distorted pentagonal anti-prism. Crystal data: 1 (C2H4Ba2O10P2), Mr = 524.68, monoclinic, C2/c (No. 15), Z = 4, a = 12.3829 (3) Å, b = 7.9124 (2) Å, c = 11.0858 (3) Å, b = 114.788 (2)°, V = 986.10 (4) Å3, R(F) = 0.016, wR(F2) = 0.040. 2 (C10H18BaN2O10), Mr = 591.60, monoclinic, C2/m (No. 12), Z = 2, a = 12.7393 (7) Å, b = 13.0111 (7) Å, c = 5.6050 (3) Å, b = 104.208 (4)°, V = 900.62 (8) Å3, R(F) = 0.027, wR(F2) = 0.054.

The syntheses and single-crystal structures of Mo(CO)3(phen)(dipy) (1), Mo(CO)3(biquin)(dipy) (2) and Mo(CO)3(dpme)(dipy) (3), (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, C12H8N2; dipy = 2,2'-dipyridylamine, C10H9N3; biquin = 2,2'-biquinoline, C18H12N2; dpme = 2,2'-dipyridylmethane, C11H10N2) are described. In each case, distorted fac-MoC3N3 octahedral coordination geometries arise for the metal atoms. Short intramolecular N–H…C interactions from the dipy N–H group to a carbonyl carbon atom occur in each structure.

A carbazole-triazine hybrid was prepared by addition-elimination between carbazole and 2,4,6-trichlorotriazine in the presence of base. The compound shows intensely blue fluorescence both in solution and solid state when irradiated with UV-radiation. The structure of (3) was supported by the spectroscopic data and unambiguously confirmed by the single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It was crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell dimensions a = 20.280(3), b = 8.0726(14), c = 16.005(3) Å, α = γ = 90°, β = 98.947(3)°, V = 2588.3(8) ų, Z = 8. Full article
