In the hexacoordinated title germanium compound [alternatively called (butanoato-κ2C3,O)bis(8-quinolato-κ2N,O)germanium(IV)], [Ge(C9H7NO)2(C4H6O2)], the Ge atom adopts a slightly distorted octahedral geometry, where the Ge—N coordinate covalent bonds [mean 2.079 (8) Å] are significantly longer than the Ge—O [mean 1.904 (8) Å] and Ge—C [1.976 (3) Å] covalent bonds.

The title crystalline complex, [Zn(C5H7O2)2(C4H11NO)], was prepared as a result of our efforts to synthesize ZnO precursors for chemical vapor deposition. Two acetylacetonate and one N,N-dimethylaminoethanol ligands are coordinated to the ZnII atom in a slightly distorted octahedral environment.

The Ni atom in the title complex, [Ni(C5H7O2)(C4H11NO)2]Cl, is in a distorted octahedral coordination environment. Cations are linked into centrosymmetric dimers via O—HCl hydrogen bonds involving the OH groups of the 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol ligands and the Cl− anions.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Pd(C5H7O2)2], has been redetermined at 100 K using modern equipment, resulting in improved precision compared to the previous study [Knyazeva et al. (1970). Zh. Strukt. Khim. 11, 938-939]. The new measurements reveal that the plane of the 2,4-pentanedionate ligand is tilted by 3.4 (1)° with respect to the PdO4 unit (Pd site symmetry = ). Possible reasons for this bending are examined in terms of previously undiscussed intermolecular interactions.
