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 crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by the heavy atom method. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with unit cell dimensions a = 22.795(3) Å, b = 17.518(2) Å, c = 12.396(3) Å, Z = 8; R = 0.0409 for 1527 unique "observed" reflections. The structure is disordered, with each halogen site (X) occupied by 75% Br, 25% I. The molecule consists of two X2(tmen)In units (tmen = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine) with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry, joined by an In—In bond 2.775(2) Å in length.

The crystal structure of magnesium zinc divanadate, MgZnV2O7, was determined and refined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. The title compound was synthesized by a solid-state reaction at 1023 K in air. The crystal structure is isotypic with Mn0.6Zn1.4V2O7 (C2/m; Z = 6) and is related to the crystal structure of thortveitite. The asymmetric unit contains two metal sites with statistically distributed magnesium and zinc atoms with the atomic ratio close to 1:1. One (Mg/Zn) metal site (M1) is located on Wyckoff position 8j and the other (M2) on 4h. Three V sites (all on 4i), and eight O (three 8j, four 4i, and one 2b) sites complete the asymmetric unit. The structure is an alternate stacking of V2O7 layers and (Mg/Zn) atom layers along [20\overline{1}]. It is distinct from other related structures in that each V2O7 layer consists of two groups: a V2O7 dimer and a V4O14 tetramer. Mixed-occupied M1 and M2 are coordinated by oxygen atoms in distorted trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral sites, respectively.

The title polymer [HCO2Sn(C6H5)3]n was isolated by serendipitous from reaction in ethanol 96 % between bis-(monocyclohexyl ammonium) 2-carboxyethyl hydrogen phosphonate, {(CyNH3)2[CO2CH2CH2PO2(OH)]} and triphenyltin chloride, SnPh3Cl. The polymer crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with Z = 4, a = 14.7091 (18) Å, b = 15.4133 (19) Å, c = 14.7639 (18) Å, β = 94.242 (2)° and V = 3338.0 (7) Å3. The structure consists of an infinite chain propagating along the crystallographic a-axis direction with bidentate formate anions. The O2SnC3 core is organized into a trans-trigonal bipyramidal like-arrangement.

The title diorganotin compound, [Sn(CH3)2(C28H32N2O4)], features a distorted SnC2NO2coordination geometry almost intermediate between ideal trigonal–bipyramidal and square-pyramidal. The dianionic Schiff base ligand coordinates in a tridentate fashionviatwo alkoxide O and hydrazinyl N atoms; an intramolecular hydroxy-O—H...N(hydrazinyl) hydrogen bond is noted. The alkoxy chain has an all-transconformation, and to the first approximation, the molecule has local mirror symmetry relating the two Sn-bound methyl groups. Supramolecular layers sustained by imine-C—H...O(hydroxy), π–π [between decyloxy-substituted benzene rings with an inter-centroid separation of 3.7724 (13) Å], C—H...π(arene) and C—H...π(chelate ring) interactions are formed in the crystal; layers stack along thecaxis with no directional interactions between them. The presence of C—H...π(chelate ring) interactions in the crystal is clearly evident from an analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface.

The title compound was synthesized as part of an effort to produce a more effective fungicide to combat Dutch Elm Disease (DED), which is caused by the fungus Ceratocystisulmi. A full X-ray structural analysis of the 1:1 adduct has been carried out and the results are reported along with the Mössbauer data for the compound. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/a with a = 19.240(3) Å, b = 9.1463(24) Å, c = 19.3512(24) Å, β = 118.874(8)°, V = 2982.0(10) Å3, z = 4, and Dcalc = 1.427 Mg m−3. The final discrepancy factors are RF = 0.056 and Rw = 0.058 for 1915 significant reflections. The QS and IS values in the Mössbauer spectrum of the complex are 3.08 mm s−1 and 1.28 mm s−1, respectively. The 2,3-diphenylthiazolidin-4-one behaves as a monodentate ligand and coordinates to the tin through the oxygen atom. The complex exhibits a trigonal bipyramidal configuration with the three phenyl groups in equatorial positions and the chloride and ligand oxygen occupying the apical sites. Keywords: triorganotin, fungicide, Dutch Elm Disease, thiazolidin-4-one.
