Cover illustration: 2,6-Di­acetyl­pyridine­bis­(semicarbazone), DAPSC, is a potential penta­dentate ligand that has gained inter­est in the design of single mol­ecule magnets and as a potential anti­microbial agent in its metal-coordinated form. The room temperature crystal structure of a samarium(III) nitrate complex with DAPSC, tetra­aqua­[2,6-di­acetyl­pyridine bis­(semicarbazone)]samarium(III) trinitrate, is isomorphous with other known lanthanide(III) nitrate complexes with DAPSC. The cations in these structures have four coordinated water mol­ecules such that their coordination geometry is best described as a distorted tricapped trigonal prism. The salts all have three nitrate counter-anions involved in myriad hydrogen bonds with the coordinated water mol­ecules. See: Gioia, Crundwell & Westcott [IUCrData (2017). 3, x181454].

The crystal structure of the title compound, 2C4H8NH2+·SnCl62−, has been redetermined at 180 K. The N atom of the pyrrolidinium cation lies on a mirror plane and the other atoms of the cation are disordered over two sites with respect to the mirror plane. Each component of the disordered five-membered rings adopts a twist conformation. The cations and the anions are connected via N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a tape-like structure propagating along the b-axis direction.

The structure of a samarium(III) nitrate salt with the penta­dentate ligand 2,6-di­acetyl­pyridine­bis­(semicarbazone), DAPSC, has been determined at room temperature. Tetra­aqua­[2,6-di­acetyl­pyridine bis­(semicarbazone)]samarium(III) trinitrate is isomorphous with other known lanthanide(III) nitrate complexes with DAPSC. The cations in these structures have four coordinated water mol­ecules such that their coordination geometry is best described as a distorted tricapped trigonal prism. The salts all have three nitrate counter-anions involved in myriad hydrogen bonds with the coordinated water mol­ecules.

The chloride salt of trans-di­chlorido­tetra­kis­(pyridine)­rhodium(III) has been known since 1883. However, no crystal structure of the compound has been reported so far. In this study, the crystal structure of its methanol tetra­solvate is described.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound comprises two mol­ecules of the thia­zole C20H17BrN6S, and one mol­ecule of di­methyl­formamide (DMF) solvent. N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding links four main mol­ecules, forming rings within the crystal. Additional N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the DMF solvent also occur.

The mol­ecular and crystal structure of the title imidazole-di­hydro­pyridine derivative is reported. The crystal structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds involving both the main mol­ecule and the lattice water mol­ecule as well as by C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions.

In the newly synthesized salt bis­(tetra­methyl­guanidinium) hexa­chlorido­tellurate(IV), the [TeCl6]2− anion and two TMG cations form weak C—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds in the three directions of the unit cell.
