Na7Mg13Nd(PO4)12

Investigations of the quasi-ternary system Na3PO4–Mg3(PO4)2–NdPO4 allowed us to obtain the new phosphate hepta­sodium trideca­magnesium neodymium dodeca­kis­phosphate, Na7Mg13Nd(PO4)12, by applying a flux method. The crystal structure is isotypic with that of the previously reported Na7Mg13 Ln(PO4)12 (Ln = Eu, La) compounds. It consists of a complex three-dimensional framework built up from an NdO8 polyhedron (m symmetry), an MO6 octa­hedron statistically occupied by M = Mg and Na, and eight MgOx (x = 5, 6) polyhedra (four with site symmetry m), linked either directely by sharing corners, edges and faces, or by one of the eight unique PO4 tetra­hedra through common corners. Two of the PO4 tetra­hedra are statisticaly disordered over a mirror plane. The whole structure can be described as resutling from an assembly of two types of structural units, viz [Mg4 MP4O22]∞ 2 layers extending parallel to (100) and stacked along [100], and [Mg4NdP4O36]∞ 1 undulating chains running along the [010] direction. The six different Na+ cations (five with site symmetry m and one with 0.5 occupancy) are situated in six distinct cavities delimited by the framework. The structure was refined from data of a racemic twin

N-(2-Methoxy­phen­yl)phthalimide

The phthalimide fused-ring system and the phenyl­ene ring in the title compound, C15H11NO3, are inclined at an angle of 54.2 (1)°

3-Benzyl-1-methyl­imidazolium picrate

In the title salt, C11H13N2 +·C6H2N3O7 −, the dihedral angles between the benzene ring in the cation and the imidazolium ring and the benzene ring of the picrate anion are 113.7 (2) and 116.3 (2)°, respectively. The imidazolium ring is nearly parallel to the benzene ring of the picrate anion, the dihedral angle between the planes being 2.6 (1)°. The nitro groups in the picrate anions are disordered (occupancy ratio 0.54:0.46). The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C—H⋯O inter­actions between the cation–anion pairs

(3E,5E)-1-Benzyl-3,5-dibenzyl­idenepiperidin-4-one

In the title compound, C26H23NO, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate a ribbon structure along the a axis. These ribbons further assemble into a one-dimensional sheet parallel to the ac plane via C—H⋯π inter­actions. The piperidin-4-one ring adopts a sofa conformation with the 1-benzyl group in the equatorial position, and the 3- and 5-phenyl substituents stretched out on either side. The benzyl­idene units adopt E configurations and the 1-benzyl group is disposed towards the 3- substituent of the piperidin-4-one ring

[2,6-Bis(biphenyl-4-yl)-4-hy­droxy-4-(pyridin-2-yl)cyclo­hexane-1,3-di­yl]bis­[(pyridin-2-yl)methanone]–butan-2-one (1/1)

In the title solvate, C47H37N3O3·C4H8O, the cyclo­hexane ring adopts a chair conformation and the plane through its near coplanar atoms forms dihedral angles of 82.58 (7), 89.27 (7), 60.30 (8), 54.54 (7) and 72.03 (7)°, respectively, with the three pyridine rings and the two attached benzene rings. The rings of the biphenyl units are twisted from each other, making dihedral angles of 35.27 (7) and 45.41 (7)°. All the rings are in equatorial orientations in the cyclo­hexane ring, except for the C=O-bonded pyridine ring in position 1, which is axial. Intra­molecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form one S(5) and three S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a chain along the c axis. The crystal structure also features weak C—H⋯π inter­actions and aromatic π–π stacking [centroid–centroid distances = 3.5856 (10) and 3.7090 (9) Å]

(Benzyldiphenylphosphane-1jP)-[l-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane-2:3j2P:P0]nonacarbonyl- 1j3C,2j3C,3j3C-triangulotriruthenium(0)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ru3(C19H17P)(C25H22P2)(CO)9], consists of two independent molecules. The bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane ligand bridges an Ru—Ru bond and the benzyldiphenylphosphane ligand binds to the third Ru atom. The Ru—Ru bond cis to the benzyldiphenylphosphane ligand is the longest of the three Ru—Ru bonds in both molecules. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H� � �O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane. C—H� � �� contacts further stabilize the crystal packing
