The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C24H26N2)[ZnCl4], consists of two 2,2′-(hexane-1,6-diyl)diisoquinolinium cations and two [ZnCl4]2− complex anions. The [ZnCl4]2− anions have a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The dihedral angles between the isoquinoline rings of the two cations are nearly equal [16.1 (2) and 16.3 (2)°]. In the crystal structure, the ordered linear formation is aggregated by weak intermolecular π–π stacking interactions between neighboring isoquinoline pyridine rings with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.779 (4) Å.

In the title compound, C12H17NO3, the conformations of the N—H and C=O bonds are anti to each other. In the crystal structure, N—H...O hydrogen-bond interactions help to establish the packing.

In the title compound, C10H12N8O4·H2O, prepared from the reaction of glycoluril with paraformaldehyde, the organic molecule has mm symmetry. The asymmetric unit comprises one quarter of the molecule and a half-molecule of water. The dimer is formed by bridging two glycoluril molecules with methylene groups at the 1 and 6 positions. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked via N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional framework.

Interaction of the lanthanide nitrates M(NO3)3 (M = Gd, Eu) with methylcucurbit[5]uril (Me10Q[5]) in the presence of transition metal chlorides (ZnCl2 and FeCl3) in acidic media resulted in the isolation of the complexes [Me10Q[5]Gd(H2O)2Cl Gd(H2O)6](ZnCl4)2∙Cl∙8.9H2O (1) and [Me10Q[5]Eu(H2O)3Cl(H3O)](FeCl4)3 (2). The molecular structures of 1 and 2 have been determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography, and reveal discrete complexes which are involved in dense stacking with adjacent Me10Q[5]s linked via H-bonding and/or metal anions resulting in a supramolecular assembly.
