Accepted 15 October 2026

Methyl 3-[(tri­methyl­sil­yl)ethyn­yl]benzoate

The title compound was synthesized via a Sonogashira Coupling reaction using cis-[PdCl2 (PPh3)2] and 1 mole % CuI. The two mol­ecules in the unit cell pack utilizing weak inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between carbon H atoms and neighboring oxygen atoms in the methyl benzoate group.

Accepted 13 October 2026

(Acetato-κO)bis­(4,4′-dimeth­oxy-2,2′-bi­pyridine-κ2N,N′)copper(II) 3,5-bis­(2,4-di­nitro­phen­yl)-4-nitro­pyrazolate monohydrate

The complex cation, with a conordination environment of the CuII atom intermediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal-bipyramidal, crystallizes with a bulky pyrazolato anion and partly disordered solvent molecules.

Accepted 12 October 2026

2-Azido-N-(o-tol­yl)acetamide

In the title mol­ecule, the inner C—N—C—C portion is planar and the phenyl ring and azide group are rotated to be well out of this plane. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds plus C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions form chains of mol­ecules extending along the a-axis direction.

Accepted 10 October 2026

4-[(4-Fluoro­phen­yl)amino]-5-(2-meth­oxy­phen­yl)-8,8-di­methyl-6,7,8,9-tetra­hydro-5H-chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-one

The title chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivative forms a supra­molecular chain in the crystal.

(η6-1-Iso­propyl-4-methyl­benzene)­bis­(η1-pyridin-2-ylethynido-κC)(tri­methyl­phosphane-κP)ruthenium(II)

The title complex, [Ru(C7H4N2)2(C10H14)(C3H9P)] or (p-cym)Ru(C2-2py)2(PMe3), where p-cym = η6-1-isopropyl-4-methyl­benzene and C2-2py = η1-C-pyridin-2-ylethynide, comprises a pseudo-octa­hedral RuII atom with p-cym occupying one face of the octa­hedron and the other face comprised of monodentate PMe3 and two η1-C2-2py ligands. In the crystal, hydrogen bonding involving one nitro­gen donor and one C—H acceptor from each pyridine ring generates dimers propagating along the a-axis direction via supporting C—H⋯π inter­actions.

(5,10,15,20-{2,2′,2′′,2′′′-[(1,21,23,25-Tetra­pentyl-2,20:3,19-dimetheno-1H,21H,23H,25H-bis­[1,3]dioxocino[5,4-i:5′,4′-i′]benzo[1,2-d:5,4-d′]bis­[1,3]benzodioxocin-7,11,15,28-tetra­yl)tetra­kis­(­oxy­ethane-2,1-di­yloxy)]tetra­phen­yl}porphyrinato)nickel(II) chloro­form monosolvate

Crystal structure of an NiII–porphyrin-based macrocyclic com­pound with a chloro­form chlathrate.

Accepted 6 October 2026

trans-Di­aqua­bis­(pyridin-2-yl thio­phen-2-yl ketone-κ2N,O)zinc(II) bis­(tetra­fluorido­borate)

The ZnII atom in the title com­plex cation (site symmetry 1) shows a pseudo-octa­hedral coordination by two aqua ligands and two chelating ligands bound through the carbonyl O and pyridyl N atoms, which is consistent with other late first-row transition-metal structures of this ligand with CoII, NiII, and CuII.
