metal-organic compounds
The hydrothermal reaction of ethylenediamine with CoCl2·6H2O yielded tris(ethylenediamine-κ2N,N′)cobalt(III) chloride diiodide monohydrate, [Co(C2H8N2)3](Cl)(I)2·H2O, which consists of [Co(en)3]3+ cations, Cl− and I− anions, and solvent water molecules. The Cl− anions bridge the [Co(en)3]3+ complexes to form two-dimensional honeycomb-like layers through N—HCl hydrogen bonds, which stack along the c direction to form channels hosting I− ions and water molecules.

In the title complex, [Cd(C2N3)2(C12H8N2)2], the CdII atom exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral environment, coordinated by four N atoms of two phenanthroline ligands and two mutually cis N-terminal atoms of two dicyanamide ligands. π–π stacking interactions result in the formation of one-dimensional chains extending along [110].
organic compounds
The title Schiff base compound, C18H22N4, is derived from the condensation reaction of hydrazine and 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde. There is a crystallographic centre of symmetry at the mid-point of the N-N bond.
