In the title rhenium(I) complex, [ReBr(C13H9N3O)(CO)3]·CH2Cl2, the dichloro­methane solvent mol­ecule is disordered over two positions with an occupancy ratio of 0.81 (15):0.19 (15). The ReI atom is coordinated by two N atoms from a 2-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L) ligand, three C atoms from three carbonyl groups and a Br atom in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The three rings in L are almost coplanar (a mean plane fitted through all non-H atoms of this ligand has an r.m.s. deviation of 0.063 Å), and the carbonyl ligands are coordinated in a fac arrangement.

In the title compound, C9H10ClNO, the non-H atoms, excluding the phenyl group, are almost coplanar (r.m.s. deviation of the non-H atoms = 0.1015 Å). The dihedral angle formed between this plane and the benzene ring is 87.07 (5)°. Weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions help to stabilize the packing.

In the title compound, [ReBr(C14H11N3O)(CO)3]·CH2Cl2, the coordination geometry of the ReI atom is a distorted ReC3N2Br octa­hedron with the carbonyl C atoms in a fac arrangement. Within the 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-p-tolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole ligand, the dihedral angles between the oxadiazole ring and the pyridine (py) and benzene (bz) rings are 1.7 (2) and 7.1 (2)°, respectively, and the dihedral angle between the py and bz rings is 5.5 (2)°. In the crystal, aromatic π–π stacking between the oxadiazole rings of adjacent mol­ecules [centroid–centroid separation = 3.465 (3) Å] is seen.

Cryptic and polymorphic species can complicate traditional taxonomic research and both of these concerns are common in fig wasp communities. Species identification is very difficult, despite great effort and the ecological importance of fig wasps. Herein, we try to identify all chalcidoid wasp species hosted by one species of fig, using both morphological and molecular methods. We compare the efficiency of four different DNA regions and find that ITS2 is highly effective for species identification, while mitochondrial COI and Cytb regions appear less reliable, possibly due to the interference signals from either nuclear copies of mtDNA, i.e. NUMTs, or the effects of Wolbachia infections. The analyses suggest that combining multiple markers is the best choice for inferring species identifications as any one marker may be unsuitable in a given case.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C38H37N7O2, contains one half-mol­ecule, situated on a twofold rotational axis, in which one amino group is involved in intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond and the two phenyl rings are twisted from the plane of pyrazolone ring by 26.69 (10) and 79.64 (8)°. The crystal packing exhibits no classical inter­molecular contacts.

The non-H atoms of the title compound, C9H13NO2, are almost coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0358 Å). Weak inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into zigzag chains along the b axis with graph-set motif C(5). The chains are further linked into a three-dimensional network by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions.

In the title compound, C17H13ClN2O2·H2O, the dihedral angle between the quinoline ring system and the benzene ring is 13.0 (1)°. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond may influence the mol­ecular conformation. In the crystal structure, acetamide mol­ecules are linked to water mol­ecules via inter­molecular O—H⋯ N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and in turn linked into chains along [010] via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
