In the title coordination polymer, [Ag(C7H6NO2)(C6H12N4)(H2O)]n, the AgI ion is five-coordinated by two carboxyl­ate O atoms from one 4-amino­benzoate anion (L), two N atoms from two different hexa­methyl­enetetramine (hmt) ligands, and one water O atom in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The metal atom lies on a mirror plane and the L anion, hmt ligand and water mol­ecule all lie across crystallographic mirror planes. Each hmt ligand bridges two neighboring AgI ions, resulting in the formation of a chain structure along the b axis. The chains are linked into a three-dimensional framework by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title compound, [Cu4(C7H6N2O3)4(H2O)4]·14H2O, a tetra­nuclear [2 × 2] grid-type complex with S4 symmetry, contains four CuII atoms which are bridged by four pyrazole­carboxyl­ate ligand anions and are additionally bonded to a water molecule. Each CuII atom is coordinated by two O atoms of the carboxyl­ate and acetyl groups, two pyrazole N atoms of doubly deprotonated 3-acetyl-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carb­oxy­lic acid and one O atom of a water mol­ecule. The geometry at each CuII atom is distorted square-pyramidal, with the two N and two O atoms in the equatorial plane and O atoms in the axial positions. O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions additionally stabilize the structure. One of the uncoordinated water molecules shows half-occupancy.

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Sn4(C4H9)8(C11H14NO2)4O2], consists of two crystallographically independent half-mol­ecules.

One Sn atom is coordinated by two butyl groups, one O atom of the benzoate anion and two bridging O atoms, whereas the other Sn atom is coordinated by two butyl groups, two O atoms of the benzoate anions and a bridging O atom. All the butyl groups are equatorial with respect to the SnO3 trigonal plane. Weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the mol­ecular structures. In one mol­ecule, two of the butyl groups and the bridging benzoate anion are each disordered over two positions.

In the title complex, [Zn(C7H6NO2)2(C10H8N2)], the ZnII cation is coordinated by two amino­benzoate anions and one 2,2′-bipyridine ligand in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry. The carboxyl­ate group of one aminobenzoate anion coordinates to the ZnII cation in a monodentate manner, whereas the carboxyl­ate group of the other amino­benzoate anion chelates the Zn cation with different Zn—O bond lengths. Inter­molecular N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.

The Cu(II) ion adopts a distorted square-pyramidal geometry formed by two N atoms from the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two O atoms of the two 4-amino­benzoic acid ligands and one water O atom. The Cu⋯Cu separation is 3.109 (2) Å. A twofold axis passes through the mid-point of the Cu⋯Cu vector.

In the title centrosymmetric tetra­nuclear complex, [Mn4(C12H6O4)4(C10H8N2)4(H2O)8]·4H2O, two independent MnII ions are coordinated in a slightly disorted octa­hedral environment by two aqua ligands, two naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxyl­ate (1,8-nap) ligands and one bis-chelating 2,2′-bipyridine (2,2′-bipy) ligand. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains along [100].

They form a dinuclear unit in which the two LiI ions are bridged by two carboxyl­ate O atoms from the two ligands. Two dinuclear units related by an inversion centre form the tetra­meric mol­ecule. One of the LiI ions shows a distorted tetra­hedral coordination geometry, the other a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal environment. The tetra­mers are held together by hydrogen bonds in which coordinated water mol­ecules act as donors, and the carboxyl­ate O atoms act as acceptors. A hydrogen bond between coordinated water molecule as donor and a ring N atom as acceptor is also observed.

The biim-5 ligand coordinates to two copper(II) cations, acting as a bridging ligand; as a result the copper(II) cations are connected to form an infinite chain structure. The polymeric chains are linked through a variety of hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional structure.

The title mol­ecule, [Zn2(C9H10NO2)4(C10H14N2O)2], is a centrosymmetric binuclear complex, with Zn atoms [Zn⋯Zn′ = 2.8927 (4) Å] bridged by four carboxyl­ate groups from the dimethyl­amino­benzoate (DMAB) ligands.

One water mol­ecule is disordered over two sets of sites with equal occupancies and the H atoms for this mol­ecule were not included in the refinement. The cation lies on an inversion center with four tetra­hedral VO4 units each sharing two vertices, forming an eight-membered ring. In the crystal, the components are linked by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a one-dimensional network along [100].

In addition, π–π stacking inter­actions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.5420 (18), 3.7577 (18) and 3.6311 (19) Å are observed.

In the title complex, [Zn2(C8H4O4)(C20H11N4O2)2]·4H2O, the ZnII atom is six-coordinated by two carboxyl­ate O atoms from one bidentate benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl­ate (1,4-BDC) ligand, two carboxyl­ate O atoms from two different monodentate 4-(1H-1,3,7,8-tetra­aza­cyclo­penta­[l]phenanthren-2-yl)benzoate (HNCP) ligands and two HNCP N atoms. The ZnII atoms are bridged by the centrosymmetric 1,4-BDC ligands, forming an extended single-chain structure. Neighbouring single chains are connected by the HNCP ligands from two opposite directions, resulting in a sheet. In addition, there are N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between adjacent layers. As a result, the polymeric sheets are further extended into a three-dimensional supra­molecular structure.

The PbII atom in the title compound, {[Pb2(C7H6NO2)4]}n, is chelated by two 3-aminobenzoato ligands in a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry with five oxygen donors in the equatorial positions, one nitro­gen donor and one oxygen donor in the axial positions.

The supra­molecular structure is consolidated by π–π stacking inter­actions with centroid–centroid distances between benzene rings of 3.837 (8) Å.

In the title compound, {[Ca3Eu2(C7H3NO4)6(H2O)12]·10.5H2O}n, the EuIII ion is nine-coordinated by three tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl­ate (PDA) ligands, forming a [Eu(PDA)3]3− building block. The Ca2+ ions adopt two types of coordination geometries. One Ca2+ ion, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is eight-coordinated by four carboxyl­ate O atoms from four PDA ligands and four water mol­ecules, and the other two Ca2+ ions, each lying on an inversion center, are six-coordinated by two carboxyl­ate O atoms from two PDA ligands and four water mol­ecules. The carboxyl­ate groups bridge the EuIII and Ca2+ ions into a three-dimensional porous framework, with channels extending along [010] and [001] in which lattice water mol­ecules are located. Two of the lattice water mol­ecules are disordered over two sets of sites with equal occupancy and one water mol­ecule is 0.25-occupied.

The title tetra­nuclear SnIV complex, [Sn4(C4H9)8(C10H6NO2)4O2], is a cluster built up by inversion symmetry around the central Sn2O2 ring. The coordination geometries of the Sn atoms involved can be classified into two types: the five-coordinate Sn atoms of the central Sn2O2 core have a trigonal–bipyramidal geometry, with axial positions occupied by a μ3-O atom and a μ2-O atom belonging to the nonchelating quinaldate ligand. The peripheral Sn atoms are six-coordinate, with a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The methyl group of an n-butyl ligand is disordered over two sites, with occupancies of 0.643 (12) and 0.357 (12).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu2Tb(C7H3NO4)3(C12H8N2)4]NO3·4H2O, consists of one-half of the C 2-symmetric trinuclear coordination cation, one-half of the C 2-symmetric nitrate anion and two water mol­ecules. In the coordination cation, the CuII atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two O atoms from a bridging–chelating carboxyl­ate group of the pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl­ate anion, completing a distorted N4O2 octa­hedral coordination environment. The TbIII atom, located on a twofold rotation axis, is nine-coordinated by three tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl­ate anions forming an N3O6 donor set. The intra­molecular Cu⋯Tb distance of 5.0592 (11) Å indicates weak inter­actions between the CuII and TbIII atoms. The coordination cations, nitrate anions and water mol­ecules are connected via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into layers parallel to the (001) plane. Moreover, there are extensive π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 4.332 (7) and 3.878 (5) Å] between the phenanthroline ligands and between phenanthroline and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl­ate ligands.

In the title dinuclear complex, [Tb2(C8H7O3)6(C12H8N2)2], each TbIII ion is eight-coordinated by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and six O atoms from the carboxyl­ate groups of five 4-methoxy­benzoate ligands in a distorted square-anti­prismatic geometry. All six 4-methoxy­benzoate ligands act in a bidentate mode, two coordinating to one Tb center each and the other four bridging two Tb centers [Tb⋯Tb separation = 4.3144 (6) Å]. In the crystal, inter­molecular π–π inter­actions between the aromatic rings of 1,10-phenanthroline and 4-methoxy­benzoate ligands [centroid–centroid distance = 3.742 (9) Å] link two mol­ecules into a centrosymmetric dimer. Weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds help to consolidate the crystal packing.

The four nearest O atoms around each CuII ion form a distorted square-planar arrangement, the distorted square-pyramidal coordination being completed by the O atom of the water mol­ecule at a distance of 2.1525 (16) Å. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the carboxyl­ate group is 25.67 (13)° in one of the independent IB ligands and 6.44 (11)° in the other. The benzene rings of the two independent IB ligands are oriented at a dihedral angle of 86.61 (7)°. In the crystal, O—H⋯O inter­actions link the mol­ecules into a two-dimensional network. π–π contacts between the benzene rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.810 (2) and 3.838 (2) Å] may further stabilize the structure.

The complex mol­ecule of the title compound, [Cu2Fe4(C5H5)4(C6H4O2)4(CH3OH)2]·2CH3OH, lies about an inversion centre and contains two centrosymetrically related CuII atoms bridged by four O:O′-bidentante ferrocene­carboxyl­ate anions, leading to a dimeric tetra­bridged unit with a paddle-wheel geometry. The CuII atom has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment with four O atoms from four ferrocene­carboxyl­ate ligands in basal positions and an O atom from a methanol mol­ecule in an apical position. One of the two crystallographically independent ferrocenyl groups has a staggered conformation, while the other is eclipsed. The mol­ecules are connected into a chain along the b axis by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving coordinated and uncoordinated methanol mol­ecules and the O atom from a ferrocene­carboxyl­ate unit.

The title tetra­nuclear complex mol­ecule, [Sn4(C7H7)8(C2H2ClO2)4O2], has crystallographically imposed inversion symmetry. Each Sn atom has a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry, with the equatorial plane formed by an oxido O atom and two C atoms of two benzyl anions. The configuration of the complex is stabilized by a pair of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, complex mol­ecules are linked into zigzag chains along [110] by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

In the centrosymmetric tetra­nuclear title compound, [Sn4(C4H9)8(C7H5O3)4O2], one of the two independent Sn atoms is five-coordinate in a cis-C2SnO3 trigonal-bipyramidal geometry [C—Sn—C = 142.7 (1)°]; the geometry is distorted owing to a long Sn⋯O(double bond) inter­action [Sn⋯O = 2.862 (1) Å]. The other Sn atom has a bent R 2Sn skeleton [C—Sn—C = 144.0 (1)°], but the geometry is best regarded as being a trans-C2SnO4 octa­hedron as the Sn–O(single bond) inter­action is shorter [Sn—O = 2.674 (1) Å].

In the title salt, [Ni(C7H6NO2)(C16H36N4)]ClO4·H2O, the NiII cation is O,O′-chelated by the benzoate anion and N,N′,N′′,N′′′-chelated by the macrocycle ligand, confering a distorted octa­hedral geometry on the metal atom. The complex cations, perchlorate anions and uncoordinated water mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. The perchlorate ion is disordered over two positions in a 0.554 (8):0.446 (8) ratio.

The title mol­ecule, [Zn2(C8H8NO2)4(C10H14N2O)2]·2H2O, is a centrosymmetric binuclear complex, with two ZnII ions [Zn⋯Zn’ = 2.9301 (4) Å] bridged by four methyl­amino­benzoate (MAB) ligands. The four nearest O atoms around each ZnII ion form a distorted square-planar arrangement with the distorted square-pyramidal coordination completed by the pyridine N atom of the N,N-diethyl­nicotinamide (DENA) ligand. Each ZnII ion is displaced by 0.3519 (2) Å from the plane of the four O atoms, with an average Zn—O distance of 2.030 Å. The dihedral angles between carboxyl­ate groups and adjacent benzene rings are 10.57 (10) and 16.63 (12)°, while the benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 81.84 (5)°. The pyridine ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 40.49 (6) and 51.25 (6)° with respect to the benzene rings. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network. The π–π contact between the inversion-related pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.633 (1) Å] may further stabilize the crystal structure.

In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Tb2(C7H3F2O2)6(C10H8N2)2], the TbIII ion is coordinated by an N,N′-bidentate 2,2′-bipyridine mol­ecule, and two O,O′-bidentate 2,4-difluoro­benzoate (dfb) anions. One of the latter also bonds to the second TbIII centre through one of its O atoms. The third dfb anion bonds to one Tb atom from each of its O atoms. Thus, the three dfb species have three different coordination modes. This results in an irregular TbN2O7 coordination sphere for the metal ion. The F atoms and their associated H atoms in the simple bidentate dfb anion are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.672 (10):0.328 (10) ratio.
