Abstract: Crystals of the title compound, {(C6H5C2H4NH3)2[PbBr4]}n, were grown at room temperature from a solution in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) using nitromethane as the poor solvent.

The octahedra are rotated and tilted due to N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds with the ammonium groups, generating a superstructure in the unit cell similar to that of the tetrachloridoplumbate (C6H5C2H4NH3)2[PbCl4].

TL;DR: In the title complex, [Ni(C23H28N2O4)]·H2O, the NiII ion is coordinated by the N2O2 unit of the tetradentate Schiff base ligand in a slightly distorted planar geometry in which the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 31.43 (5)°.
Abstract: In the title complex, [Ni(C23H28N2O4)]·H2O, the NiII ion is coordinated by the N2O2 unit of the tetradentate Schiff base ligand in a slightly distorted planar geometry. The asymmetric unit of the title compound comprises one complex molecule and a water molecule of crystallization. The H atoms of the water molecule make bifurcated intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the O atoms of the phenolate and ethoxy groups with R12(5) and R12(6) ring motifs, which may, in part, influence the molecular configuration. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 31.43 (5)°. The crystal structure is further stabilized by intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions, which link neighbouring molecules into one-dimensional extended chains along the a axis. An interesting feature of the crystal structure is the short intermolecular C⋯C [3.3044 (14) A] contact which is shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of tetrasodium diiron tris(phosphate), Na4Fe2+Fe3+(PO4)3, which has been synthesized hydrothermally at 773 K and 0.1 GPa and is identical to that of γ-NASICON.
Abstract: This paper reports the crystal structure of tetrasodium diiron tris(phosphate), Na4Fe2+Fe3+(PO4)3, which has been synthesized hydrothermally at 773 K and 0.1 GPa. The crystal structure has been refined in the space group R\overline{3}c and is identical to that of γ-NASICON. The heteropolyhedral framework is based on a regular alternation, in three dimensions, of corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra and FeO6 octahedra, constituting so-called `lantern units' stacked along the c axis. The Na+ cations are distributed over two crystallographic sites: the six-coordinated Na1 site which lies between two `lantern units', and the eight-coordinated Na2 site which lies at the same z value as the P site.
