The solvated title salt, (C8H15N2)[NiBr3(P(C6H5)3)]·0.5C4H10O, was obtained in the form of single crystals directly from the reaction mixture. The molecular structure consists of separated 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cations, tribromido(triphenylphosphane)nickelate(II) anions and half a solvent molecule of 1-butanol, all connected via multiple hydrogen contacts to form a three-dimensional network. The co-crystallized 1-butanol molecule is disordered and adopts two orientations. The central C—C bonds of both orientations are located on an inversion centre (Wyckoff site 2b of space group P21/n). Thereby, each orientation has again two orientations with the OH group being located either on one or the other side of the C4 alkyl chain. The dried solvent-free compound exhibits a relatively low melting point (m.p. = 412 K).

The title molecular salt, C5H12NO+·C4BN4− or (C5H12NO)[B(CN)4], was obtained as single crystals by slow evaporation of a solution of the compound in acetonitrile over several weeks. The asymmetric unit contains two (S)-alanine ethyl ester cations and two tetracyanidoborate anions, which are linked by N—H...N hydrogen bonds. The compound exhibits a relatively low melting point of 110°C and shows a solid–solid phase transition near room temperature (Ts–s = 29°C) on the basis of DSC measurements.

The title compound, (BenzMIm)Br (BenzMIm=1-benzyl-3-methylimidazolium), C11H13N2+·Br−, was obtained as single crystals directly from a pure and liquid sample of the compound over several weeks. The molecular structure of (BenzMIm)Br consists of separated bromide anions and 1-benzyl-3-methylimidazolium cations connected via short C—H...Br contacts. The compound exhibits a relatively low melting point (m.p. = 72°C) and is a supercooled, highly viscous transparent liquid at ambient conditions. The title compound crystallizes with two unique ion pairs in the asymmetric unit of the orthorhombic unit cell.

The title compound, {(C9H11N2)[Mn(NCS)3]}n, has been obtained as a side product of the salt metathesis reaction of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, (EMIm)Br, and K2[Mn(NCS)4]. The structure consists of discrete 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cations and an anionic two-dimensional network of manganese(II)-based complex anions, interconnected by thiocyanate ions. Every Mn2+ ion is coordinated by three S atoms of three NCS− ions and three N atoms of further three NCS− ions in a meridional octahedral fashion.

The title compound, d-(+)-glucosammonium potassium tetrathiocyanatocobaltate(II) dihydrate, K(C6H14NO5)[Co(NCS)4]·2H2O or (GlcNH)(K)[Co(NCS)4]·2H2O, has been obtained as a side product of an incomplete salt metathesis reaction of d-(+)-glucosamine hydrochloride (GlcN·HCl) and K2[Co(NCS)4]. The asymmetric unit contains a d-(+)-glucosammonium cation, a potassium cation, a tetraisothiocyanatocobalt(II) complex anion and two water molecules. The water molecules coordinate to the potassium cation, which is further coordinated via three short K+...SCN− contacts involving three [Co(NCS)4]2− complex anions and via three O atoms of two d-(+)-glucosammonium cations, leading to an overall eightfold coordination around the potassium cation. Hydrogen-bonding interactions between the building blocks consolidate the three-dimensional arrangement.

The title compound, (C9H14N4)[CoBr4], was obtained as single crystals directly in very low yield as a side product in the reaction of 1,1′-bis(1-methylimidazolium)acetate bromide and CoBr2. The title compound consists of an imidazolium-based dication and a tetrabromidocobaltate(II) complex anion, which are connected via C—H...Br interactions in the crystal. The dihedral angle between the imidazolium rings in the cation is 72.89 (16)°. The CoII ion in the anion is coordinated tetrahedrally by four bromide ligands [Co—Br = 2.4025 (5)–2.4091 (5) Å and Br—Co—Br = 106.224 (17)–113.893 (17)°]. The compound exhibits a high melting point (>300°C) and is a light-blue solid under ambient conditions.

The title compound, C11H12O, has been prepared as a side product in the attempted room-temperature synthesis of (E)-1-phenylpent-2-en-1-one. The molecular structure consists of an approximately planar indanone core (r.m.s. deviation = 0.042 Å) with the ethyl group protruding from this plane. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related molecules are linked into dimers by pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming rings of R22(10) graph-set motif. The dimers are further connected by C—H...π interactions into chains running parallel to [-101].
