Single crystals of sodium formate dihydrate, NaHCO2·2H2O, have been prepared from aqueous solutions of sodium formate, NaHCO2, via the trihydrate, NaHCO2-3H2O. They are orthorhombic, space group Cmca, with a = 7.070(4), b = 14.534(2), c = 8.706(2) Å and Z = 8. The structure, including the hydrogen atoms, was refined to R = 0.054, Rw = 0.065 for 479 unique reflections with I > 3 σ (I). It comprises buckled layers formed by NaO6 octahedra which are edge- and corner-sharing. The octahedral coordination of the sodium ions is achieved by two oxygen atoms from two different end-on bonded formate ions and four water oxygen atoms. The O···H distances show clearly that strong hydrogen bonds are not involved in the bonding system

Single crystals of the title compound have been obtained by neutralization of formic acid with solid rubidium carbonate and subsequent solvent evaporation at room temperature. The very hygroscopic crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pbca (Nr. 61), with a = 7.614(1), b = 17.926(2), c = 7.862(1) Å and Z = 8. The structure, which has been refined to R = 0.072 and Rw = 0.067 for 1008 unique reflections, is isotypic with that of the analogous potassium compound. It comprises layers of edge-sharing distorted RbO8 square antiprisms, sandwiched between two adjacent formate layers. The sandwiches are hold together by O···H···O inter­actions, which are, however, rather weak.

Alkali metal thallides go back to the investigative works of Eduard Zintl about base metals in negative oxidation states. In 1932, he described the crystal structure of NaTl as the first representative for this class of compounds. Since then, a bunch of versatile crystal structures has been reported for thallium as electronegative element in intermetallic solid state compounds. For combinations of thallium with alkali metals as electropositive counterparts, a broad range of different unique structure types has been observed. Interestingly, various thallium substructures at the same or very similar valence electron concentration (VEC) are obtained. This in return emphasizes that the role of the alkali metals on structure formation goes far beyond ancillary filling atoms, which are present only due to charge balancing reasons. In this review, the alkali metals are in focus and the local surroundings of the latter are discussed in terms of their crystallographic sites in the corresponding crystal structures.

The title compound was isolated from the treatment of Tp*Sn(Cl)2Bu (1) with a large excess of sodium hydroxide in a mixture of acetone-water at room temperature. [(Me2CO)3(NaTp*)2] (2) crystallizes at 4 °C as prismatic colorless crystals, in the monoclinic space group P21/c with Z = 4, a = 12.2837(6), b = 24.3197(12), c = 16.9547(8) Å, β = 110.017(1)°, and V = 4759.0(4) Å3. The X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed a dinuclear unit in which two Tp*Na moieties are held together by three bridging acetone molecules acting as oxygen-based donors.
