The title compound, (C7H10NO)[SnCl3], is a new compound with non-linear optical (NLO) properties. The structure is pseudocentrosymmetric; the absence of an inversion centre was proved by the Kurtz and Perry method showing a significant second harmonic generation (SHG) signal about ten times lower than that from potassium dihydrogenphosphate. The crystal structure exhibits alternating organic and inorganic layers parallel to the ab plane, which are stabilized by intermolecular N—HCl interactions.

The structure of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)2(C7H9NO)2]n, consists of cadmium–thiocyanate layers parallel to the ab plane. Pairs of CdII ions are bridged by two end-to-end inversely bridging μ-NCS-N:S thiocyanate groups, forming a two-dimensional network with the remaining two trans positions of the octahedrally coordinated CdII ions occupied by the N atoms of two neutral 2-methoxyaniline ligands. The crystal structure is stabilized by intralayer N—HS hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, (C8H12N)3[SnBr6]Br, the anilinium N atom of one of the three unique cations exhibits flip-flop disorder with an 0.60:0.40 occupancy ratio. In the crystal, N—HBr hydrogen bonds link the N,N-dimethylanilinium cations and both Br− anions and [SnBr6]2− dianions into a layered arrangement parallel to (001).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound {(C6H18N2)2[Sb2Br10]·H2O}n, consists of two tetramethylethylendiammonium cations that are located on centres of inversion, as well as one tetramethylethylendiammonium cation, one water molecule, one distorted octahedral [SbBr6]3−anion and one bisphenoidal [SbBr4]− anion in general positions. The [SbBr6]3− and [SbBr4]− anions are linked together by two long Sb—Br bonds of 3.2709 (8) and 3.5447 (7) Å into {[Sb2Br10]4−}n chains along [001]. One of the three tetramethylethylendiammonium cations is disordered and was refined using a split model (occupancy ratio 0.58:0.42). The cations and the water molecule are connected to the {[Sb2Br10]4−}n polymeric anions by weak N—H Br and O(water)—H Br hydrogen bonding.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C6H20N3)[BiCl6]·H2O, consists of a triprotonated bis(3-azaniumylpropyl)azanium cation, two halves of an octahedral [BiCl6]3− anion, each of the BiIII atoms lying on an inversion centre, and a water molecule. In the crystal, the anions and water molecules are linked by O—HCl hydrogen bonds, forming chains running parallel to [0-11]. The anionic chains and the cations are further linked into a three-dimensional network by N—HCl and N—HO hydrogen-bond interactions.

In the ethylenediammonium dication of the title salt, C2H10N22+·Cl−·SCN−, the N—C—C—N torsion angle is 72.09 (12)°. In the crystal, an extensive three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network, formed by N—HCl and N—HN hydrogen bonds, holds all the ions together.

The structure of the title polymeric compound, [Cd(SCN)2(C6H8N2)2]n, exhibits a two-dimensional staircase-like structure parallel to (010) in which the CdII atom lies on a twofold rotation axis and has a distorted octahedral CdS2N4 geometry involving four μ-1,3-(SCN) group donors and two N-atom donors from 1,3-phenylenediamine ligands, which also have twofold symmetry. The major contributions to the cohesion and the stability of this two-dimensional polymeric structure are the covalent Cd—S,N bonds and one weak intralayer N—HS hydrogen bond.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C7H10NO)2[SnBr6]·2H2O, contains one cation, one half-dianion and one lattice water molecule. The [SnBr6]2− dianion, located on an inversion center, exhibits a highly distorted octahedral coordination environment, with Sn—Br bond lengths ranging from 2.2426 (9) to 3.0886 (13) Å. In the crystal, O—HBr, N—HBr, N—HO and C—HBr hydrogen bonds consolidate the packing, which can be described as consisting of alternating anionic (containing dianions and lattice water molecules) and cationic layers parallel to ab plane.
