The title compound, (C15H23N2)2[MnBr4], comprises two N-adamantyl-N'-ethyl­imidazolium cations and one tetra­hedral [MnBr4]2− anion. Next to Coulombic inter­actions, weak hydrogen bonds of the type C—H⋯Br consolidate the crystal packing, building up a three-dimensional network.

The crystal structure of the title mol­ecular complex, [Ag2{VO2F2}2(C13H17N3O2)4]·4H2O, supported by the heterofunctional ligand tr-ad-COOH [1-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-3-carb­oxy­adamantane] is reported. Four 1,2,4-triazole groups of the ligand link two AgI atoms, as well as AgI and VV centres, forming the heterobimetallic coordination cluster {AgI2(VVO2F2)2(tr)4}. VV exists as a vanadium oxofluoride anion and possesses a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environment [VO2F2N]. A carb­oxy­lic acid functional group of the ligand stays in a neutral form and is involved in hydrogen bonding with solvent water mol­ecules and VO2F2− ions of adjacent mol­ecules. The extended hydrogen-bonding network is responsible for the crystal packing in the structure.

The heterobifunctional organic ligand, 3-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)adamantane-1-carboxyl­ate (tr-ad-COO−), was employed for the synthesis of the title silver(I) coordination polymer, {[Ag(C13H16N3O2)]·2H2O}n, crystallizing in the rare ortho­rhom­bic C2221 space group. Alternation of the double μ2-1,2,4-triazole and μ2-η2:η1-COO− (chelating, bridging mode) bridges between AgI cations supports the formation of sinusoidal coordination chains. The AgI centers possess a distorted {N2O3} square-pyramidal arrangement with τ5 = 0.30. The angular organic linkers connect the chains into a tetra­gonal framework with small channels along the c-axis direction occupied by water mol­ecules of crystallization, which are inter­linked via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with carboxyl­ate groups, leading to right- and left-handed helical dispositions.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C12H22N+·CH3O3S−, consists of three (3,5-di­methyl­adamantan-1-yl)ammonium cations, C12H22N+, and three methane­sulfonate anions, CH3O3S−. In the crystal, the cations and anions associate via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into layers, parallel to the (001) plane, which include large supra­molecular hydrogen-bonded rings.

In the title compound, C18H19BrFN3S, the 1,2,4-triazole ring is nearly planar with a maximum deviation of −0.009 (3) and 0.009 (4) Å, respectively, for the S-bound C atom and the N atom bonded to the bromo­fluoro­phenyl ring. The phenyl and triazole rings are almost perpendicular to each other, forming a dihedral angle of 89.5 (2)°. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯π(phen­yl) inter­actions, forming supra­molecular chains extending along the c-axis direction. The crystal packing is further consolidated by inter­molecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds and by weak C—H⋯S inter­actions, yielding double chains propagating along the a-axis direction. The crystal studied was refined as a racemic twin.

The title compounds, [Mo(C5H5)(COCH3)(C6H12N3P)(CO)2], (1), and [Mo(C5H5)(COCH3)(C9H16N3O2P)(C6H5)2))(CO)2], (2), have been prepared by phosphine-induced migratory insertion from [Mo(C5H5)(CO)3(CH3)]. The mol­ecular structures of these complexes are quite similar, exhibiting a four-legged piano-stool geometry with trans-disposed carbonyl ligands. The extended structures of complexes (1) and (2) differ substanti­ally. For complex (1), the molybdenum acetyl unit plays a dominant role in the organization of the extended structure, joining the mol­ecules into centrosymmetrical dimers through C—H⋯O inter­actions with a cyclo­penta­dienyl ligand of a neighboring mol­ecule, and these dimers are linked into layers parallel to (100) by C—H⋯O inter­actions between the molybdenum acetyl and the cyclo­penta­dienyl ligand of another neighbor. The extended structure of (2) is dominated by C—H⋯O inter­actions involving the carbonyl groups of the acetamide groups of the DAPTA ligand, which join the mol­ecules into centrosymmetrical dimers and link them into chains along [010]. Additional C—H⋯O inter­actions between the molybdenum acetyl oxygen atom and an acetamide methyl group join the chains into layers parallel to (101).

The title compound, bis­(1,2-diphenyl-2-sulfanyl­idene­ethane­thiol­ato-κ2S,S')(1,3,5-tri­aza-7-phosphaadamantane-κP)cobalt(II) dichloromethane hemisolvate, [Co(pdt)2(PTA)]·0.5C2H4Cl2 or [Co(C14H10S2)2(C6H12N3P)]·0.5C2H4Cl2, contains two phenyl­dithiol­ene (pdt) ligands and a 1,3,5-tri­aza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) ligand bound to cobalt with the solvent 1,2-di­chloro­ethane mol­ecule located on an inversion center. The cobalt core exhibits an approximately square-pyramidal geometry with partially reduced thienyl radical monoanionic ligands. The supra­molecular network is consolidated by hydrogen-bonding inter­actions primarily with nitro­gen, sulfur and chlorine atoms, as well as parallel displaced π-stacking of the aryl rings. The UV–vis, IR, and CV data are also consistent with monoanionic di­thiol­ene ligands and an overall CoII oxidation state.

The title compound exhibits exceptionally weak inter­molecular C—H⋯π hydrogen bonding of the ethynyl groups, with the corresponding H⋯π separations [2.91 (2) and 3.12 (2) Å] exceeding normal vdW distances. This bonding compliments distal contacts of the CH (aliphatic)⋯π type [H⋯π = 3.12 (2)–3.14 (2) Å] to sustain supra­molecular layers.

The title compound, C14H16, exhibits exceptionally weak intermolecular C—H...π hydrogen bonding of the ethynyl groups, with the corresponding H...π separations [2.91 (2) and 3.12 (2) Å] exceeding normal vdW distances. This bonding complements distal contacts of the CH (aliphatic)...π type [H...π = 3.12 (2)–3.14 (2) Å] to sustain supramolecular layers. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the title compound suggests a relatively limited significance of the C...H/H...C contacts to the crystal packing (24.6%) and a major contribution from H...H contacts accounting 74.9% to the entire surface.

Experimental electron-density studies based on high-resolution diffraction experiments allow halogen bonds between heavy halogens to be classified. The topological properties of the electron density in Cl⋯Cl contacts vary smoothly as a function of the inter­action distance. The situation is less straightforward for halogen bonds between iodine and small electronegative nucleophiles, such as nitro­gen or oxygen, where the electron density in the bond critical point does not simply increase for shorter distances. The number of successful charge–density studies involving iodine is small, but at least individual examples for three cases have been observed. (a) Very short halogen bonds between electron-rich nucleophiles and heavy halogen atoms resemble three-centre–four-electron bonds, with a rather symmetric heavy halogen and without an appreciable σ hole. (b) For a narrow inter­mediate range of halogen bonds, the asymmetric electronic situation for the heavy halogen with a pronounced σ hole leads to rather low electron density in the (3,−1) critical point of the halogen bond; the properties of this bond critical point cannot fully describe the nature of the associated inter­action. (c) For longer and presumably weaker contacts, the electron density in the halogen bond critical point is only to a minor extent reduced by the presence of the σ hole and hence may be higher than in the aforementioned case. In addition to the electron density and its derived properties, the halogen–carbon bond distance opposite to the σ hole and the Raman frequency for the associated vibration emerge as alternative criteria to gauge the halogen-bond strength. We find exceptionally long C—I distances for tetra­fluoro­diiodo­benzene molecules in cocrystals with short halogen bonds and a significant red shift for their Raman vibrations.

A new disease capable of devastating European salamander and newt populations was probably introduced via international wildlife trade, new research has found. The study shows that the disease is deadly for many European species of salamanders and its analysis of more than 5000 amphibians from across four continents suggests the pathogen spread from Asia to Europe via the pet trade.
