Cover illustration: N,N′-Bis[tris­(hy­droxy­meth­yl)meth­yl]propane-1,3-di­amine (bis-tris propane or BTP), used for the preparation of buffer solutions and high-nuclearity coordination complexes, crystallizes with a half mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The full mol­ecule is completed through mirror symmetry m in the space group Pnma. The mol­ecular shape is bent and this unexpected conformation could be a consequence of a propensity to polymorphism. An assessment of hydrogen-bond coordination likelihood suggests that this structure probably represents the less-stable form in a set of polymorphs.

The crystal structure of (Al13.28Si2.72)(Fe1.19Ni2.81) comprises eight sites in the asymmetric unit, one of which is co-occupied by pairs of (Al,Si) atoms, and two by pairs of (Fe,Ni) atoms.

In the title compound, the complete organic cation, which adopts a typical chair conformation, is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry and one of the N-bonded H atoms is half occupied. The sodium ion (site symmetry m) at the centre of the complex anion adopts a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry with the water mol­ecules in the equatorial sites and the bromide ions in the axial sites. In the extended structure, O—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds generate a porous ‘honeycomb' three-dimensional network of complex anions encapsulating [010] channels occupied by the cations.

In the bis-chelated mononuclear nickel(II) title complex with benzohydrazide ligands bearing an all­yloxy group, the nickel(II) atom exhibits a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment with the metal located on a crystallographic center of symmetry that induces a trans configuration of the N,O chelating ligands..
