Cover illustration: The mol­ecular salt (S)-alanine ethyl ester tetra­cyanidoborate, (C5H12NO)[B(CN)4] (C5H12NO)[B(CN)4], was obtained during ongoing efforts to investigate tetra­cyanidoborate-based ionic liquids. The asymmetric unit contains two (S)-alanine ethyl ester cations and two tetra­cyanidoborate anions, which are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The compound exhibits a relatively low melting point of 110°C and shows a solid–solid phase transition near room temperature (Ts–s = 29°C) on the basis of DSC measurements.

The cationic complex of the title compound contains an RhI atom with a pseudo-square planar coordination environment. It is ligated by an N-heterocyclic carbene, a triphenylphosphane, and a bidentate cylco­octa­diene ligand. Charge balance is achieved from an out-sphere tetra­fluorido­borate anion.

The mol­ecular structure of the title complex consists of an eight-membered Cu4C4 ring with an alternating arrangement of copper(I) atoms and μ-mesityl groups. Two of the copper(I) atoms are additionally linked to PMe3 ligands, giving a distorted trigonal coordination.

Crystal growth of 3′-carb­oxy-3-methyl-[1,4′-bipyridin]-1-ium chloride in ethanol led to single crystals of ethyl 4-oxo-1,4-di­hydro­pyridine-3-carb­oxy­lic acid, which likely resulted from hydrolysis and esterification of the original compound, and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The asymmetric unit of the title solvated mol­ecular salt consists of 1.5 cations, three bromide anions and one ethanol solvent mol­ecule of crystallization. The half-cation is completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry. In the crystal, O—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯Br inter­actions link the components.

The title compound is a monoclinic polymorph of the previously reported triclinic form. In the crystal, parallel offset π-stacking and ionic inter­actions consolidate the packing.

In the title compound, the dihedral angle formed between the plane of the chromenone ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.031 Å) and the pendant benzene ring is 31.09 (5)°. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into C(6) chains propagating along the a-axis direction.

The title compound was prepared in three steps from p-xylene. Heterodimers between nearly identical mol­ecules are connected via three hydrogen bonds from benzylic and ester methyl­ene groups to phospho­nate. The dimers form chains along the a-axis direction, stabilized by C—H⋯O bridges.
