Cover illustration: trans-Di­chlorido­tetra­kis­(pyridine-4-carbo­nitrile-κN)ruthenium(II) toluene hemisolvate, [RuCl2(C6H4N2)4]·0.5C7H8, resulted from the reaction of four equivalents of pcp (pyridine-4-carbonitrile) with ruthenium(II) chloride to form a propeller-like arrangement, which is positioned along the twofold axis of the C2/c space group. The packing of the complex in the structure, resulting from the overlap at the carbonitrile groups of the complexes, results in a grid-like assembly with a near 50% calculated void volume.

The title Schiff base was prepared by condensation of 2-quinoline­carboxaldehyde with 4-bromo­aniline, is reported. Inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions between quinolinyl and bromo­phenyl rings form a three-dimensional supra­molecular network in the crystal packing.

The crystal structure of 5-cyclo­propyl-1-tosyl-1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde shows a nearly planar indole core, with slipped π–π stacking inter­actions contributing to the crystal packing. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that H⋯H, O⋯H/H⋯O and C⋯H/H⋯C contacts make the major contributions to the crystal packing.

The crystal structure of a β-carboline, C26H20N2O4S, synthesized via 2 + 2+2-cyclo­addition to an alkynylynamide, is presented.

The complete mol­ecule of the title compound, which was prepared via a Horner olefination, is generated by a crystallographic centre of symmetry. Whereas the terminal cyano­stilbene units are almost planar, the central dioctoxybenzene unit is substanti­ally tilted, which limits conjugation. van der Waals forces between the alkyl chains connect the mol­ecules, arranged in layers lying parallel to the ac plane.

In the title compound, the dihedral angle between the naphthalene fused-ring system and the amide group is 42.18 (9)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into (100) sheets.
