Cover illustration: In N-(4-meth­oxy-2-methyl-5-nitro­phen­yl)acetamide, C10H12N2O4, the four substituents lie out of the phenyl plane by varying degrees. In the extended structure, the acetamide NH group donates a hydrogen bond to an acetamide carbonyl O atom, thereby forming chains propagating in the [010] direction. The structure of the this compound represents the first crystallographic characterization of a nitrated 4-alk­oxy­acetanilide formed under biomimetic RONS conditions. Its isolation in per­oxy­nitrite/CO2-mediated oxidation of N-(4-meth­oxy-2-meth­yl)acetamide strongly suggests the possibility that analogous nitrated metabolites may arise in vivo during oxidative stress, potentially modulating the pharmacology or toxicity of 4-alk­oxy­acetanilide analgesics.

In the title complex, the RuII atom is coordinated by a 1,1,1-tris­{[bis­(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)phosphan­yl]meth­yl}ethane ligand in κ3-coordination mode and an η4-coordinating tri­methyl­ene­methane ligand.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(C10H8N2)3][C{C(CN)2}3], contains an iron–bipyridyl unit and one third of two crystallographic independent tris­(di­cyano­methyl­idene)methane­diide units. In the crystal, hydrogen bonds between cations and anions form complex layers parallel to (001). These are supplemented by hydrogen bonds perpendicular to the former, leading to a three-dimensional network.

In the redox-active title compound, a 2,2-bi­pyridine derivative tethered to two N-methyl­pyridinium moieties as electron reservoirs. The asymmetric unit comprises one half of the divalent bpy cation together with a [PF6] anion and a CH3CN mol­ecule. The crystal structure features hydrogen-bonding and π–π inter­actions.

The bond lengths in the C—S—C moiety are almost equal, with a shorter formally double C—S bond. The packing involves ‘weak’ hydrogen bonds; the three shortest contacts combine to form layers parallel to the ab plane.

In the extended structure of the title compound, mol­ecular pairs are connected via N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating inversion dimers characterized by R22(10) graph-set motifs. These dimers further associate through N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O inter­actions, forming supra­molecular layers lying parallel to the (104) crystallographic plane. Aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions and C—H⋯π contacts contribute to the tri-periodic supra­molecular architecture.
