The transition metal orthophosphate, SrCo2Fe(PO4)3, crystallizes in an alluaudite-type structure. The chains characterizing the alluaudite structure are built up from edge-sharing [CoO6] octa­hedra linked together by PO4 tetra­hedra., The title compound, SrCo2Fe(PO4)3, has been synthesized by a solid-state reaction. It crystallizes with the α-CrPO4 type structure. In this structure, all atoms are on special positions of the Imma space group, except for two O atoms which are located on general positions. The three-dimensional network in the crystal structure is made up of two types of layers stacked normal to (100). The first layer is built from two edge-sharing CoO6 octa­hedra, leading to the formation of Co2O10 dimers that are connected to two PO4 tetra­hedra by a common edge and corners. The second layer results from apex-sharing FeO6 octa­hedra and PO4 tetra­hedra, which form linear chains alternating with a zigzag chain of SrII cations. These layers are linked together by common vertices of PO4 tetra­hedra and FeO6 octa­hedra to form an open three-dimensional framework that delimits two types of channels parallel to [100] and [010] where the SrII cations are located. Each SrII cation is surrounded by eight O atoms.

[Ru2Cl{μ-O2CC6H2-3,4,5-(OMe)3}4] n was prepared by the reaction of [Ru2Cl(μ-O2CCH3] n with 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid. The complex shows a paddlewheel structure with pairs of Ru atoms bridged by four carboxylate ligands. The axial positions are occupied by shared chloride ions giving zigzag chains. These chains are disposed parallel to each other to give a three-dimensional arrangement packed only by van der Waals forces. The final refinement shows high values of residual non-modelled electronic density. Therefore, the SQUEEZE utility [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18] was used to remove its contribution to the overal intensity data. The electron density modelled by SQUEEZE is consistent with around eight water molecules per unit cell.

The various twinning criteria give somewhat conflicting indications in these complicated cases of crystal pathology. The details of molecular packing in these crystal structures are compared with other known crystal forms of Z-DNA.

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Licence., The crystal structure of the β-polymorph of ZnMoO4 was re-determined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In comparison with previous powder X-ray diffraction studies [Katikaneani & Arunachalam (2005 ▸). Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. pp. 3080–3087; Cavalcante et al. (2013 ▸). Polyhedron, 54, 13–25], all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters, leading to a higher precision with respect to bond lengths and angles. β-ZnMoO4 adopts the wolframite structure type and is composed of distorted ZnO6 and MoO6 octa­hedra, both with point group symmetry 2. The distortion of the octa­hedra is reflected by variation of bond lengths and angles from 2.002 (3)–2.274 (4) Å, 80.63 (11)–108.8 (2)° for equatorial and 158.4 (2)– 162.81 (14)° for axial angles (ZnO6), and of 1.769 (3)–2.171 (3) Å, 73.39 (16)–104.7 (2), 150.8 (2)–164.89 (15)° (MoO6), respectively. In the crystal structure, the same type of MO6 octa­hedra share edges to built up zigzag chains extending parallel to [001]. The two types of chains are condensed by common vertices into a framework structure. The crystal structure can alternatively be described as derived from a distorted hexa­gonally closed packed arrangement of the O atoms, with Zn and Mo in half of the octa­hedral voids., We acknowledge financial support from the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MAT2013–40950-R), Gobierno del Principado de Asturias (GRUPIN14–060) and ERDF.

In contrast to the structure of the parent compound 4′-bromobiphenyl-4-carbonitrile, CN...Br contacts that could have given rise to a linear arrangement of the biphenyl molecules desirable for non-linear optical (NLO) materials are not observed in the packing. Instead, several Br...F [3.2405 (17) and 3.2777 (18) Å] and F...F [2.894 (2) Å] contacts of side-on type II form an intermolecular network of zigzag chains. The crystal studied was refined as an inversion twin.

In the title compound, C10H11BrS2, the 1,3-dithiane ring has a chair conformation with the 1,4-disposed C atoms being above and below the remaining four atoms. The bromobenzene ring occupies an equatorial position and forms a dihedral angle of 86.38 (12)° with the least-squares plane through the 1,3-dithiane ring. Thus, to a first approximation the molecule has mirror symmetry with the mirror containing the bromobenzene ring and the 1,4-disposed C atoms of the 1,3-dithiane ring. In the crystal, molecules associateviaweak methylene–bromobenzene C—H...π and π–π [Cg...Cg= 3.7770 (14) Å for centrosymmetrically related bromobenzene rings] interactions, forming supramolecular layers parallel to [10-1]; these stack with no specific intermolecular interactions between them.

In the title compound, C13H13NO3, the conformation across the C=C bond is synperiplanar, the torsion angle of the segment C(ring)—C=C—C(N) being 3.2 (5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into inversion dimers, arranged in a zigzag pattern, through two C—H...O interactions generatingR22(10) andR22(14) motifs. These dimers are arranged in a zigzag pattern in the crystal structure. The molecules are further linked along thecaxis through weak C—H...π interactions, and weak π...π interactions [centroid–centroid separation = 3.9986 (17) Å] are also observed.

In the title compound, C13H18O3, the benzene ring is almost perpendicular to the acetoxy plane, making a dihedral angle of 89.33 (11)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a zigzag chain along thec-axis direction.

The title compound, barium trimanganese tris-(ortho-phosphate), was synthesized hydro-thermally. Its structure is isotypic with the lead and strontium analogues AMn(II) 2Mn(III)(PO4)3 (A = Pb, Sr). Except for two O atoms on general positions, all atoms are located on special positions. The Ba and one P atom exhibit mm2 symmetry, the Mn(II) atom 2/m symmetry, the Mn(III) atom and the other P atom .2. symmetry and two O atoms are located on mirror planes. The crystal structure contains two types of chains running parallel to [010]. One chain is linear and is composed of alternating Mn(III)O6 octa-hedra and PO4 tetra-hedra sharing vertices; the other chain has a zigzag arrangement and is built up from two edge-sharing Mn(II)O6 octa-hedra connected to PO4 tetra-hedra by edges and vertices. The two types of chains are linked through PO4 tetra-hedra into an open three-dimensional framework which contains channels parallel to [100] and [010] in which the Ba(II) ions are located. The alkaline earth cation is surrounded by eight O atoms in the form of a slightly distorted bicapped trigonal prism.

In the title compound, C10H8ClN3O2, the indazole ring system makes a dihedral angle of 7.9 (3)° with the plane through the nitro group. The allyl group is rotated out of the plane of the indazole ring system [N—N—C—C torsion angle = 104.28 (19)°]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains propagating along the b-axis direction.
