<p>In the title salt, di-μ-oxido-bis-2,6-bis-[(di-methyl-amino)-meth-yl]phenyl-κC1tellurium(-IV) bis[tri-chlorido-(dimethyl sulfoxide-κS)platinate(II)], (C24H38N4O2Te2)[PdCl3(C2H6OS)]2, which crystallizes in the triclinic space group P , each Te atom is in a distorted five-coordinated TeO2N2C square-pyramidal geometry (τ values of 0.026 and 0.001) with the C atoms of the phenyl rings occupying the apical positions. The phenyl rings in the [C24H38N4O2Te2]2+ cation are in a cis arrangement to enable this species to participate in Te⋯Cl cation-anion inter-actions. There are also C-H⋯O inter-actions involving the dimethyl sulfoxide ligands and numerous cation-anion and anion-anion C-H⋯Cl inter-actions, which link the ions into a complex three-dimensional array.The title compounds, C13H18O3Si (1) and C18H20O3Si (2), represent functional-izable di-hydro-furan-ylsilanes, which permit substitution by a variety of nucleophiles. <a href="https://www.selleckchem.com/GSK-3.html">GSK 3 inhibitor</a> The crystal structures of 1 and 2 display weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions (qu-anti-fied by Hirshfeld surface analysis), leading to a two-dimensional supra-molecular network for 1 and a one-dimensional supra-molecular network for 2. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 were refined both on the basis of the independent atom model (IAM) and the Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) approach, and the results are comparatively discussed.The title alkali propano-ates poly[(μ5-propano-ato)alkali(I)], M+(C2H5COO)-, with alkali/M+ = Na+, K+, Rb+ and Cs+, show close structural similarity, which is manifested by the coordination of the cations by six oxygen atoms in a chessboard motif, forming a bilayer. This bilayer is situated between hydro-phobic layers composed of dangling ethyl chains from the carboxyl-ate groups. Stacking of these two-dimensional sandwiches, which are parallel to (001), forms the title structures. Each metal cation is coordinated by six O atoms in the form of a distorted trigonal prism. One pair of these oxygen atoms belongs to a bridging, bidentately coordinating carboxyl-ate anion, while each of the other four oxygen atoms belongs to different carboxyl-ate groups, which are in a bridging monodentate mode. Despite the close similarity, each of the studied alkali propano-ates crystallizes in a different space group. The atoms are in general positions, except for the cation in K+(C2H5COO)-, which is situated on a mirror plane. Positional disorder of the methyl groups that are disordered over two positions is present in the Na+ and K+ propano-ates, in contrast to the Rb+ and Cs+ propano-ates. In the Na+ compound, the occupational parameters of the disordered methyl groups are different compared to the K+ compound where they are equal. This difference results in doubling of the a unit-cell parameter of the Na+ compound with respect to that of the K+ compound, otherwise the structures are homeotypic. In Cs+ propano-ate, a disorder of the methyl H atoms is observed.The title compound, [Cu2(C5H7N2)(C4H10NO2)Cl2(C5H8N2)], is a pyrazolate amino-alcohol complex which contains two di-methyl-pyrazole mol-ecules in monodentate and bidentate-bridged coordination modes and a monodeproton-ated di-ethano-lamine mol-ecule. Both copper atoms are involved in the formation of non-planar five-membered chelate rings. One Cu atom is in a distorted tetra-hedral environment formed by the pyridine nitro-gen atom of the protonated di-methyl-pyrazole mol-ecule, the N atom of the deprotonated bridged di-methyl-pyrazole, the Cl atom and the bridged O atom of the monodeprotonated di-ethano-lamine. The second Cu atom has an inter-mediate environment between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal, formed by the N atom of the deprotonated bridged di-methyl-pyrazole, the Cl atom and the N atom of the amino-alcohol, and two O atoms of the deprotonated and protonated OH groups. In the crystal, N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into anti-symmetric chains running along the a-axis direction. Adjacent chains are connected by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxyl group as donor.Two crystal structures of chalcones, or 1,3-di-aryl-prop-2-en-1-ones, are presented; both contain a methyl substitution on the 3-Ring, but differ on the 1-Ring, bromo versus cyano. The compounds are 3'-bromo-4-methyl-chalcone [systematic name 1-(2-bromo-phen-yl)-3-(4-methyl-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one], C16H13BrO, and 3'-cyano-4-methyl-chalcone systematic name 2-[3-(4-methyl-phen-yl)prop-2-eno-yl]benzo-nitrile, C17H13NO. Both chalcones meaningfully add to the large dataset of chalcone structures. The crystal structure of 3'-cyano-4-methyl-chalcone exhibits close contacts with the cyano nitro-gen that do not appear in previously reported disubstituted cyano-chalcones, namely inter-actions between the cyano nitro-gen atom and a ring hydrogen atom as well as a methyl hydrogen atom. The structure of 3'-bromo-4-methyl-chalcone exhibits a type I halogen bond, similar to that found in a previously reported structure for 4-bromo-3'-methyl-chalcone.Single crystals of Ag1.64Zn1.64Fe1.36(PO4)3 [silver zinc iron phosphate (1.64/1.64/1.36/3)] have been synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes with an alluaudite-like structure. All atoms of the structure are in general positions except for four, which reside on special positions of the space group, C2/c. The Ag+ cations reside at full occupancy on inversion centre sites and at partial occupancy (64%) on a twofold rotation axis. In this structure, the unique Fe3+ ion with one of the two Zn2+ cations are substitutionally disordered on the same general position (Wyckoff site 8f), with a respective ratio of 0.68/0.32 (occupancies were fixed so as to ensure electrical neutrality for the whole structure). The remaining O and P atoms are located in general positions. The three-dimensional framework of this structure consists of kinked chains of edge-sharing octa-hedra stacked parallel to [10]. These chains are built up by a succession of [MO6] (M = Zn/Fe or Zn) units. Adjacent chains are connected by the PO4 anions, forming sheets oriented perpendicular to [010]. These inter-connected sheets generate two types of channels parallel to the c axis, in which the Ag+ cations are located. The validity and adequacy of the proposed structural model of Ag1.64Zn1.64Fe1.36(PO4)3 was established by means of bond-valence-sum (BVS) and charge-distribution (CHARDI) analysis tools.</p>
