In the title compound, [Ni(C15H14N3O2S)2], the NiII atom lies on a center of symmetry. The deprotonated ligands act as N,S-donors, forming five-membered metalla-rings. The NiII atom is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment. In the crystal, the discrete complex molecules are linked by weak N—HO hydrogen bonds, generating chains along [110]. The chains are further connected via weak O—HN interactions into a layered network extending parallel to (001).

In the title compound, [Ni(NCS)2(C5H5N)2]n, the Ni2+ cation is coordinated by four thiocyanate anions (μ-1,3) and two pyridine ligands within a slightly distorted octahedral configuration. The Ni—N bond lengths to the pyridine rings are 2.1189 (17) and 2.1241 (17) Å, whereas those to the thiocyanate anions are 2.0299 (18) and 2.0359 Å. The Ni—S bond lengths are 2.5357 (6) and 2.5568 (6) Å. The Ni2+ cations are linked by N:S-bridging thiocyanate ligands into chains extending along [010]. The NiNi distance within the chains is 5.5820 (5) Å. The asymmetric unit contains two Ni2+ cations of which one is located on a centre of inversion, whereas the second is located on a general position.

The conformation of the title molecule, C17H17N3S, is stabilized by an intramolecular N—HN hydrogen bond involving the azometinic group. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 36.49 (06)°. The non-aromatic ring of the tetralone substituent adopts a sofa conformation. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of N—HS hydrogen bonds related via centres of symmetry, forming dimers.

In the title compound, C15H15N3O2S, the central C—N—N—C unit has an anti conformation [torsion angle = −170.17 (15)°]. The phenyl substituent is oriented perpendicular to this unit [dihedral angle of 89.2 (1)°], whereas the substituted ring is rotated out of this plane by only 18.86 (17)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of N—HS hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers that are further connected via N—HO and O—HS hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C12H15N3S, both of which display disorder of several C atoms in the N-bound ring (occupancy ratios of 0.75:0.25 in the first independent molecule and 0.50:0.50 in the second) with the methyl H atoms also being disordered in the first molecule (occupancy ratio of 0.70:0.30). The planes of the benzene ring and the N—N—C—N fragment make dihedral angles of 12.92 (14)° in the first independent molecule and 7.60 (13)° in the second. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak N—HS hydrogen bonds into chains along the a-axis direction. The crystal packing ressembles a herringbone arrangement.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(NCS)2(C12H10ClN)2], the Zn2+ cation is N-coordinated by two terminally bonded thiocyante anions and by two 4-(4-chlorobenzyl)pyridine ligands within a slightly distorted tetrahedron. The asymmetric unit consists of half of the discrete complex, the central Zn2+ cation of which is located on a twofold rotation axis. The discrete complexes are linked into layers via a weak intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction, with a HCl distance of 2.85 Å and a C—HCl angle of 151°. These layers extend parallel to the ab plane and are held together by dispersion forces only.

Although the molecular structure of the title compound, C22H32N4O8, displays a twofold symmetry of the molecule including the methoxy and methyl substituents, no crystallographic twofold symmetry is observed in the X-ray structure analysis. The carbonyl O atoms alternately point to different sides of the plane defined by the carbonyl C atoms. Two methoxy groups are oriented inside the molecules cavity. The H atoms of two methyl groups are disordered over two orientations and were refined using a split model.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C28H36I2S3, a terthiophene monomer, the central thiophene unit is arranged anti-coplanar to the two outer thiophene rings. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, which show different conformations. In one molecule, the dihedral angles between the inner and the two outer thiophene rings are 15.7 (3) and 3.47 (3)°, whereas these values are 4.2 (3) and 11.3 (3)° for the second molecule. Differences are also found in the arrangement of the hexyl chains: in one of the two molecules, both chains are nearly in plane to the central moiety, whereas in the second molecule, only one chain is in plane and the other one is nearly perpendicular to the central moiety. Some of the C atoms are disordered and were refined using a split model with occupancy ratios of 0.65:0.35 and 0.70:0.30 in the two molecules.
